Abstract
Lévi-Strauss’ structuralism, with its fluctuating distinction between “hot” and “cold” societies, is both an apex and a turning point in the history of anthropology: refusing the hierarchies of progress while naturalizing human worlds, bringing reason to its further stretches while opening ways to narrative approaches. It seemed impossible, in his time, to appreciate diversity without falling into the conservative, or even reactionary, field. But things have changed: mixing present day Amazonia and ancient Greece into the landscape of ruins in which we dwell, this paper explores the possibilities of re-enchantment that open up when – overcoming ancient scotomas – we make acquaintance with the ghosts of modernity.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
