Claude Lévi-Strauss (1949)

A

Les Structures élémentaires de la parenté Les Structures élémentaires de la parenté est l’intitulé de la thèse soutenue par Claude Lévi-Strauss, refondue et publiée en 1948, défendant la théorie de l’alliance. Elle constitue une œuvre significative grâce à laquelle il devint docteur d’État. Avec l’aide ponctuelle du mathématicien André Weil il y dégage le concept de structure élémentaire de parenté, basé sur la notion de Groupe de Klein.

Q

Claude Lévi-Strauss (1962)

A

La Pensée sauvage En utilisant le thème de l’ethnologie traditionnelle l’auteur cherche à décrire les mécanismes de la pensée en tant qu’attribut universel de l’esprit humain. Pour lui, la pensée sauvage est présente en tout homme tant qu’elle n’a pas été cultivée et domestiquée à « fins de rendement ». Par l’utilisation de l’idée de rendement, il met en opposition l’utilité immédiate de la science et des connaissances dont a besoin le primitif pour survivre, avec une forme de pensée adaptée aux besoins sociaux ou de productivité des sociétés modernes.

Q

How does Geertz content that religion is born out of humanity’s attempt to deal with the problem of meaning?

A

Humanity attempts to deal with the problem of meaning by: 1) ‘affirming, or at least recognizing the inescapability of ignorance, pain, and injustice on the human plane while simultaneously’ 2) ‘denying that these irrationalities are characteristic of the world as a whole’. The result is, according to Geertz, religion.

Q

When did Evans-Pritchard disavow the commonly-held view that anthropology was a natural science, arguing instead that it should be grouped amongst the humanities, especially history?

A

In 1950.

42
Q

How did Evans-Pritchard argue that anthropology should be grouped amongst the humanities?

A

He argued that the main issue facing anthropologists was one of translation - finding a way to translate one’s own thoughts into the world of another culture and thus manage to come to understand it, and then to translate this understanding back so as to explain it to people of one’s own culture.

43
Q

Evans-Pritchard (1965)

A

Theories of Primitive Religion

44
Q

What was Evans-Pritchard’s main argument in Theories of Primitive Religion (1965)?

A
  • Anthropologists rarely succeed in entering the minds of the people they studied, and so ascrib to them motivations which more closely match themselves and their own culture, than the one they are studying.
  • Believers and non-believers approached the study of religion in vastly different ways, with non-believers being quicker to come up with biological, sociological, or psychological theories to explain religion as an illusion, and believers being more likely to come up with theories explaining religion as a method of conceptualizing and relating to reality.
