| - | ''[[The Elementary Structures of Kinship]]'' (French: ''Les structures élémentaires de la parenté'') is a book by [[French anthropologist]] [[Claude Lévi-Strauss]], first published in [[1949]] by the [[Presses Universitaires de France]]. | ||
| - | |||
| - | In [[1948]] Lévi-Strauss received his [[doctorate]] from the [[Collège de Sorbonne|Sorbonne]] by submitting, in the French tradition, both a "major" and a "minor" thesis. These were ''[[The Family and Social Life of the Nambikwara Indians]]'' and ''[[The Elementary Structures of Kinship]]''. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ''The Elementary Structures of Kinship'' was published in [[1949]] and quickly came to be regarded as one of the most important [[anthropological]] works on [[kinship]]. It was even reviewed favorably by [[Simone de Beauvoir]], who viewed it as an important statement of the [[feminism|position of women]] in [[non-western]] cultures. A play on the title of [[Émile Durkheim|Durkheim's]] famous ''[[Elementary Forms of the Religious Life]]'', ''Elementary Structures'' re-examined how people organized their [[families]] by examining the logical structures that underlay relationships rather than their contents. While British anthropologists such as [[Alfred Reginald Radcliffe-Brown]] argued that kinship was based on ''[[descent]]'' from a common ancestor, Lévi-Strauss argued that kinship was based on the ''[[Alliance theory|alliance]]'' between two families that formed when women from one group married men from another. | ||
