Claude Levi-Strauss in His Own Words
- Alternative title
- Claude Levi-Strauss Par Lui-Même
- Synopsis
- This French television documentary recounts the extraordinary career of the father of structural anthropology, Claude Lévi-Strauss, whose theories not only influenced that field, but also linguistics, mythology, and pop culture studies. Author of ‘Tristes Tropiques’ and ‘The Savage Mind’, Lévi-Strauss is a profound intellectual, a confirmed ecologist, a fierce defender of the diversity of peoples and cultures, and all with the temperament of an artist or poet. Consisting of selected interviews from the 1960s to the present, this documentary presents the anthropologist’s story in his own words. In French or English
