Sommario/riassunto |
|
This volume seeks to address a key gap in the burgeoning secondary literature about Lévi-Strauss: his importance to the study of religions. This volume pays particular attention to Lévi-Strauss' writings on totemism, myth and "la pensée sauvage" situating these writings both in terms of previous theories of religion and in terms of the wider influences that informed his work. |
