内容简介 · · · · · ·

Academic, writer, figure of melancholy, aesthete – Claude Lévi-Strauss (1908–2009) not only transformed his academic discipline, he also profoundly changed the way that we view ourselves and the world around us.

In this award-winning biography, historian Emmanuelle Loyer recounts Lévi-Strauss’s childhood in an assimilated Jewish household, his promising student years as well as his first forays into political and intellectual movements. As a young professor, Lévi-Strauss left Paris in 1935 for São Paulo to teach sociology. His rugged expeditions into the Brazilian hinterland, where he discovered the Amerindian Other, made him into an anthropologist. The racial laws of the Vichy regime would force him to leave France yet again, this time for the USA in 1941, where he became Professor Claude L. Strauss – to avoid confusion with the jeans manufacturer.

Lévi-Strauss’s return to France, after the war, ushered in the period during which he produced his greatest works: several decades of intense labour in which he reinvented anthropology, establishing it as a discipline that offered a new view on the world. In offered 1955, Tristes Tropiques indisputable proof of this the world over. During those years, Lévi-Strauss became something of a French national monument, as well as a celebrity intellectual of global renown. But he always claimed his perspective was a ‘view from afar’, enabling him to deliver incisive and subversive diagnoses of our waning modernity.

Loyer’s outstanding biography tells the story of a true intellectual adventurer whose unforgettable voice invites us to rethink questions of the human and the meaning of progress. She portrays Lévi-Strauss less as a modern than as our own great and disquieted contemporary.

原文摘录 · · · · · ·

正在经历重组的民族学处于动荡的变化之中，新的成员、新的机构以及新的视野让人热血沸腾。这门新的学科打破了文人的传统，它给普通的物件赋予了崇高的地位，还把一个野心勃勃的名词收入囊中：“民族学以人为研究课题”。此外，它将研究工作的传统分类公之于众：室内的学术大家与收集资料的观察家。从此，民族学家们将展开实地考察并悉心记录下将被用来分析的各种资料。知识分子和探险家之间的对立、不断变化的思想与亲近大自然的生活之间的落差、学术界与感性世界之间的矛盾都得到了解决：民族学跨越了这些从笛卡尔开始便延续下来的西方文化中古板的障碍。在民族学的摇篮之上聚集了一群精灵，他们竞相累积经历、增长学识。做一名行动派的知识分子！ (查看原文)
