Книга представляет собой беседу выдающегося антрополога Клода Леви-Стросса (1908–2009) и известного философа Дидье Эрибона (род. 1953). В непринужденной манере и с долей юмора Леви-Стросс рассказывает о детстве, семье, годах учения, эмиграции. Помимо малоизвестных фактов биографии беседа затрагивает широкий круг тем. Леви-Стросс говорит о своих политических взглядах, об отношении к событиям мая 1968 года; рассуждает о проблеме расизма, об истории и философии. На страницах книги предстает панорама французской интеллектуальной жизни ХХ века, в центре которой Симона де Бовуар, Жан-Поль Сартр, Андре Бретон, Жак Лакан и многие другие. Не остаются без внимания и теоретические вопросы, над которыми ученый работал многие годы: книга содержит комментарии и разъяснения Леви-Стросса к его основным трудам.

Claude Lévi-Strauss

229 books862 followers
Claude Lévi-Strauss was a French anthropologist, well-known for his development of structural anthropology. He was born in Belgium to French parents who were living in Brussels at the time, but he grew up in Paris. His father was an artist, and a member of an intellectual French Jewish family. Lévi-Strauss studied at the University of Paris. From 1935-9 he was Professor at the University of Sao Paulo making several expeditions to central Brazil. Between 1942-1945 he was Professor at the New School for Social Research. In 1950 he became Director of Studies at the Ecole Practique des Hautes Etudes. In 1959 Lévi-Strauss assumed the Chair of Social Anthroplogy at the College de France. His books include The Raw and the Cooked, The Savage Mind, Structural Anthropology and Totemism (Encyclopedia of World Biography).

Some of the reasons for his popularity are in his rejection of history and humanism, in his refusal to see Western civilization as privileged and unique, in his emphasis on form over content and in his insistence that the savage mind is equal to the civilized mind.

Lévi-Strauss did many things in his life including studying Law and Philosophy. He also did considerable reading among literary masterpieces, and was deeply immersed in classical and contemporary music.

Lévi-Strauss was awarded the Wenner-Gren Foundation's Viking Fund Medal for 1966 and the Erasmus Prize in 1975. He was also awarded four honorary degrees from Oxford, Yale, Havard and Columbia. Strauss held several memberships in institutions including the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society (Encyclopedia of World Biography).

Nehir söyleşileri hep sevmişimdir. Bunu da sevdim, ama ya Strauss'un söyleşi yaptığı adama pek kanı kaynamadı ya da biraz ketum bir adam. Strauss'la ilgili daha fazla detaya ulaşacağımı sanmıştım, onun yerine Fransız ve Amerikan akademisi ve dönemin entelektüellerine dair çok yüzeysel fragmanlar geçti elime.

I guess Strauss commenced the interview on the surface and only after he admitted that Eribon the footnote reader was such a smart ass, saying "alright kiddo, let us do this as you wish" he surrenders to swimming in the depths and such a firm swimming it is. He is truly a wise guy, whose mind occupied every aspect of the world culture, as required by his own field of expertise. Even at times when you do not agree with him, you cannot help but recalling his citation of Rousseau for d'Alembert: "He does not persuade me, but he provokes me!"

Livro entrevista, então é pra quem curte o Lévi-Strauss, antropologia, estruturalismo ou a história da academia francesa.
Me deu saudades do Tristes Trópicos que é bem bonito e me deu vontade de ler as Mitológicas, que tá encostado na prateleira.

Hem Fransız felsefesiyle hem de Levi-Strauss ile tanışmak isteyenler için harika bir kitap. Tabii bunun yanı sıra yapısalcı ekole dair de pek çok şey öğreniyorsunuz. Çevirisi de Haldun Bayrı’dan.

Pubblicato nel 1998, questa lunga intervista con tra Lévi-Strauss e Didier Éribon (classe 1953, sociologo, intellettuale engagé, visiting professor a Cambridge, Princeton e Berkley, giornalista a Libé e poi al Nouvel Observateur) sembra però essere stata fatta trent’anni prima, in pieno ’68. Lo si suppone dal chiaro uso della registrazione, per lasciare spazio alle lunghe risposte da “sbobinare” e trascrivere su carta con grande fedeltà; dalle frequenti domande ad esplicito riferimento politico (qual è stata l’influenza di Marx su di Lei? Si è mai iscritto al partito comunista? È mai stato un intellettuale coinvolto politicamente?); infine dalle inevitabili domande sui grandi intellettuali (filosofi ed antropologi) che hanno popolato la scena culturale parigina e francese del dopoguerra, in quegli anni cioè in cui la Francia è stata per un’altra volta un faro di innovazione, di avanguardia culturale, un punto di riferimento per tanta parte di mondo. Del resto, considerando chi è Didier Eribon era difficile che ne uscisse un’altra intervista.
Mi sono piaciute molto le risposte equilibrate di Lévi-Strauss, che ho trovato molto “moderne” per la sua epoca; ho ammirato nuovamente la semplicità che c’è spesso dietro ad ogni grande pensatore mentre mi ha stupita la facilità con cui sia arrivato ad occupare cattedre a tutt’oggi rilevanti, fondamentalmente perché all’epoca, in pieno dopo guerra, non c’era praticamente nessun altro, così come mi ha stupita un suo certo pessimismo o una sua velata malinconia, scoprirlo una persona
nel complesso schiva dai rapporti sociali e che non ha intessuto poi alcuna buona relazione (ma nemmeno amichevole) con nessuno dei grandi suoi contemporanei (e non perché fosse lui: nemmeno Sartre o la De Beauvoir, giusto per citarne un paio) si sono dimostrati amichevoli: insomma, tra tutti, hanno dimostrato di essere ciascuno molto sulle sue. Peccato, ma non grave.
Le parti che mi hanno interessata di più per i miei studi sono quelle dedicate al mito – troppo poche ma è solo un commento personale, perché il libro non ha mai voluto vertere solo su questo tema.

Akademik, mesleki ve politik düşünce yapısını daha yakından tanımak için isabetli bir kitap. Strauss okumaya merak salacaklar için iyi bir başlangıç eseri.
