FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Designed to provoke controversy, the papers in this volume concentrate on two main themes: the study of myth and totemism. Starting with an English translation of La Geste dAsdiwal, which is widely considered to be the most brilliant of all of Levi-Strausss shorter expositions of his technique of myth analysis, the volume also contains criticism of this essay. The second part of the volume discusses how far Levi-Strausss treatment of totemism as a system of category formation can be correlated with the facts that an ethnographer encounters in the field.
