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 1955, Tristes Tropiques offered 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.… (altro)

Eine monumentale Biografie liegt hier vor, die mich nun schon seit Wochen beschäftigt. Sie ist exzellent recherchiert. Die Teile waren für mich unterschiedlich gut lesbar, am interessantesten fand ich das mittlere Drittel, in dem es um die Entwicklung des Strukturalismus geht. Insgesamt ist es ein sehr interessantes Buch, Lévi-Strauss ist nach wie vor ein sehr interessanter und inspirierender Denker.
Für mich als Frau in der Wissenschaft ist es aber auch ein frappierendes Zeitdokument und zeigt wie wenig Frauen damals gewürdigt wurden. Und es ist auch eine schockierende Lektüre, wie salonfähig zufiefst rassistische Äußerungen noch in den 1950er Jahren in der akademischen Öffentlichkeit waren. ( )

(Introduction)
« J’aurais aimé, une fois dans ma vie, pleinement communiquer avec un animal. C’est un but inaccessible. Il m’est presque douloureux de savoir que je ne pourrai jamais trouver de quoi est composée la matière et la structure de l’univers. Cela eût signifié : être capable de parler avec un oiseau. Mais là est la frontière qu’on ne peut franchir. Traverser cette frontière serait un grand bonheur pour moi. Si vous pouviez me procurer une bonne fée qi exaucerait un de mes vœux, c’est celui-là que je choisirais. » Claude Lévi-Strauss, entretien avec F. Raddatz.
(I) / (Les arrières-mondes)
« Mais tant qu’un grand nom n’est pas éteint, il maintient en pleine lumière ceux qui le portèrent ; et c’est sans doute, pour une part, l’intérêt qu’offrait à mes yeux l’illustration de ces familles, qu’on peut, en partant d’aujourd’hui, les suivre en remontant degré par degré jusque bien au-delà du XIVe siècle et retrouver les Mémoires et les correspondances de tous les ascendants de M. de Charlus, du prince d’Agrigente, de la princesse de Parme, dans un passé où une nuit impénétrable couvrirait les origines d’une famille bourgeoise et où nous distinguons, sous la projection lumineuse et rétrospective d’un nom, l’origine et la persistance de certaines caractéristiques nerveuses, de certains vices, des désordres de tel ou tel Guermantes. » Marcel Proust, Du côté de Guermantes, tome II.
