{"product_id":"9781848316935","title":"Introducing Levi-Strauss : A Graphic Guide by Boris Wiseman","description":"Introducing L?vi-Strauss is a guide to the work of the great French anthropologist Claude L?vi-Strauss (1908-2009). The book brilliantly traces the development and influence of L?vi-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 pens?e sauvage - behind the processes of human culture. Accessibly written by Boris Wiseman and beautifully illustrated by Judy Groves, Introducing L?vi-Strauss also explores the major contribution that L?vi-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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308319879541,"sku":"9781848316935","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781848316935.jpg?v=1762807130","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781848316935","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
