Claude Levi-Strauss Dies at 100
Claude Lévi-Strauss, one of the most distinguished anthropologists of the 20th century, has died at the age of 100, according to reports from the BBC and The New York Times. In a series of major works published between 1949 and 1971, Mr. Lévi-Strauss argued that material objects, kinship patterns, and ordinary conversations can all be interpreted as elements of a universal, unconscious process of cultural "structuration." In The Chronicle's Brainstorm blog last November, Eric Banks reflected on Mr. Lévi-Strauss's work.

"Lévi-Strauss argued that material objects, kinship patterns, and ordinary conversations can all be interpreted as elements of a universal, unconscious process of cultural 'structuration'."
Cultural structuration = the anthropological equivalent of Jung's psychological Archetype = ...of Michael Schneider's Mathematical Archetypes = ....Zuzana Martináková-Rendeková's Musical Archetypes = ...Dawkin's meme...and so on.
