《列维-斯特劳斯传》内容简介
在这本屡获殊荣的传记中,历史学家伊曼纽艾尔•卢瓦耶讲述了20世纪法国最伟大的人类学家之一克洛德•列维-斯特劳斯——真正的知识分子冒险家——的故事。本书以列维-斯特劳斯生平的四个主要时期为线索,为我们开启深入了解这位结构主义大师工作和生活的崭新视角。
•1908—1935年:在一个被同化的犹太家庭中度过他的童年、充满希望的学生时代和他对政治与智识运动的首次尝试。
•1935—1947年:作为一名年轻的教授,他于1935年离开巴黎前往圣保罗教授社会学。他在巴西腹地进行了曲折的探险,在那里发现了作为他者的美洲印第安人,这使他成为一名人类学家。从1941年起,他在纽约开启了新的学术生涯。
•1947—1971年:“二战”后,他回到法国,开始了他创作最伟大作品的时期。在数十年的紧张工作中,他重塑了人类学,将其确立为一门提供全新世界观的学科。1955年,《忧郁的热带》一书向全世界提供了无可争议的证明。在那些年,他成为法兰西民族丰碑,也成为享誉全球的知识名人。
•1971—2009年:他坚称这个世纪已与他无涉,但与之相悖的是,这个距离却允许他能以一种难以置信的犀利和反叛风格阐明现代性。
我们中的许多人都习惯于看到老态龙钟的列维-斯特劳斯的照片,或是他在亚马孙河流域邋遢不堪、饱受文化冲击的样子,而本书则向我们展示了一个年轻、世故、富有魅力、英俊潇洒的列维-斯特劳斯。与其说作者把列维-斯特劳斯描绘成一位现代人,不如说她把他描绘成一位伟大而不安的同代人。

Introduction to the Biography of Levi-Strauss
In this award-winning biography, historian Emmanuel Loyer tells the story of Claude Levi-Strauss, a true intellectual adventurer, one of France's greatest anthropologists of the 20th century. The four major periods of Levi-Strauss 'life provide us with a new perspective on the structuralist master's work and life.
1908-1935: His childhood in an assimilated Jewish family, his hopeful school days and his first forays into political and intellectual movements.
1935-1947: As a young professor, he left Paris in 1935 to teach sociology in Sao Paulo. His meandering expeditions into the Brazilian hinterland, where he discovered Amerindians as others, led him to become an anthropologist. From 1941 he began a new academic career in New York.
1947-1971: After World War II, he returned to France and began the period of his greatest work. Over decades of intense work, he reshaped anthropology, establishing it as a discipline that offered an entirely new worldview. In 1955, The book Tropical Blues provided incontrovertible proof to the world. In those years, he became a national monument to France and an intellectual celebrity of global renoir.
1971-2009: He insists that this century is irrelevant to him, but, paradoxically, this distance allows him to articulate modernity in an incredibly sharp and rebellious style.
While many of us are used to seeing pictures of an aging Levi-Strauss, or of him as a scruffy-looking, culture-shocked figure in the Amazon, this book shows us a young, sophisticated, charismatic, and handsome Levi-Strauss. Rather than portraying Levi-Strauss as a modern man, she portrays him as a great and restless contemporary.
