Conference: Savage Thoughts: Interdisciplinarity and the Challenge of Claude Levi-Strauss

Friday, September 24, 2010toSaturday, September 25, 2010

Claude Lévi-Strauss was one of the great interdisciplinary writers of the twentieth century whose influence has been felt far beyond his home discipline of anthropology. His inquiry illuminated the border lands between primitive and non-primitive, self and other, myth and history, human and animal, art and nature, and the dichotomies that give structure to culture. At the same time his method troubled those borders and dichotomies, through the bricolage he adopted that illuminated connections amongst literature, art, psychology, music, religion, and law.

The conference is free and open to all faculty and students. For program and registration details: /iplai/savagethoughts/
