If man wants to belong to structuralism in anthropology, is the name of Levi-Strauss is unumgänglich.Doch his works deal not only with the structuralism, and philosophical, thought humanistichen Dealing with physical device accessible by a talented ITS COMMENTS Scripture.
Claude Lévi-Strauss is born of a French family in Brussels on 28 November 1908. He spent his school days in Paris. Made student, who introduced especially for the music of Wagner empfidlich, art, antiques, home of works by his father, he legally erförderte such as reward Japanese prints, African masks (1). These observations may be relevant in that they justify the future of Persons Anthropologue, and will always be in the background of his work.

He went on missions, namely during the holidays in various native peoples, including in Mato Grosso in the Caduevo, Bororo, Nambikwara.
This expedition is his main field of research, here are my complaints herausgeaüssert that Levi-Strauss quickly verbrachtet under international and has not really integrated in this, in the case where he has not learned the language.
As the outbreak of the second world war he went back to France, where he was until the introduction of the anti-Semitic Posited mobilisiert.Als Jews he should take to flight in 1941 and the plan to the Fondation Rock Field, who worked for the "rescue" the scientists threaten Europe, was Levi-Strauss as a teacher at the New York School for Social Research in New invited (1), and later at the Ecole Libre des Hautes Etudes. He also works as a consultant in the cultural department of the French Embassy. This vebrachtede time in USA represents a significant turning point for the development of its Arbeit.Er uncovers the American Anthropology, essentially the work of Franz Boas and the linguist Roman Jakobson encounter with the realization of his intuition caused on the method, necessary for his Remarks and record analysis. He knew already under the influence of Marx, to Creation of Adam, the need for a model that desen the diversity of results can integrate one and more research. (2) that the linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure and continued with the phonology of Trubetskoy and Jakobson, supplies him with this method . a structural analysis of language, the elements of a language system are etched against their defieniert by lichen and equivalent relations and stuctures are gebildet.Die difference between the inside of language and the ranking officials of language is central (3). Lévi-Strauss applies this method to his research results. He verfasstet his first monograph on the Nambikwara and supports its Thesis on the elementary structures of kinship in 1949.
Back in France in 1947, he is first as head of research at CNRS (Centre National de Recherche Scientifique), then working as a manager in the Musée de l'Homme.
