Lecture | Claude Lévi-Strauss, Our Contemporary

Thursday, October 11, 2018, 6:00 pm

Free

Speaker Emmanuelle Loyer recently published a widely acclaimed biography on French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, which has just been translated into English as Lévi-Strauss: A Biography. In this talk, she discusses how Lévi-Strauss took a critical perspective on the present, expressed not only in his structural anthropology but also in his acerbic critiques of many things we take as certainties in the modern world, including our belief in progress and even our modern conception of human rights, whereas he advocated for a more inclusive “rights of the living.”

Emmanuelle Loyer is Professor of Contemporary History at Sciences Po Paris.

In French with English translation.
