{"product_id":"introducing-levi-strauss","title":"Introducing Levi-Strauss","description":"Introducing Lévi-Strauss is a guide to the work of the great French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss (1908-2009). The book brilliantly traces the development and influence of Lévi-Strauss'' thought, from his early work on the function of the incest taboo to initiate an exchange of women between groups, to his identification of a timeless \"wild\" or \"primitive\" mode of thinking - a pensée sauvage - behind the processes of human culture. Accessibly written by Boris Wiseman and beautifully illustrated by Judy Groves, Introducing Lévi-Strauss also explores the major contribution that Lévi-Strauss made to contemporary aesthetic history - his work on American-Indian mythology provides a key insight into the way in which art itself comes into being.This is an essential introduction to a key thinker.","brand":"Icon Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58035224379727,"sku":"9781848316935","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/introducing-levi-strauss","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
