“Claude Lévi-Strauss Today”

Şeyda Sevde Tunçbilek

“Perhaps it would be wiser to let obsolete theories fall into oblivion, and not to awake the dead. But, as old King Arkel says, history does not produce useless events.” (Lévi-Strauss, Totemism, p. 15).

According to Marshall Sahlins, “All famous theorists will undoubtedly experience two things: death, and the conviction that their theory has been surpassed. The lucky ones experience these in that order, not the other way around.” However, Brazilian anthropologist Manuela Carneiro de Cunha points out a third stage in the case of Claude Lévi-Strauss: “seeing his theory become a topic of renewed interest and discussion while he was still alive” (2008, p. 39).

“Günümüzde Claude Lévi-Strauss”

Şeyda Sevde Tunçbilek

“Eskimiş teorileri unutulmaya terk etmek ve ölüleri hortlatmamak daha akıllıca olur belki de…Fakat yaşlı Kral Arkel’in söylediği gibi, tarihin faydasız olaylar yarattığı görülmemiştir.” (Lévi-Strauss, Günümüzde Totemizm, s. 27).

Marshall Sahlins’e göre “Bütün ünlü teorisyenler kesin olarak iki şeyi yaşayacaklardır: ölmek ve teorisinin aşıldığına inanmak. Şanslı olanlar bu ikisini bu sırayla yaşar, tersi değil.” Brezilyalı antropolog Manuela Carneiro de Cunha, Claude Lévi-Strauss vakasında üçüncü bir aşamanın daha varlığına dikkat çeker: “henüz hayattayken teorisinin yeniden ilgi çektiğini, gündeme geldiğini görmek” (2008, s. 39).
