More about the book
Boris Wiseman's exploration of Claude Lévi-Strauss's aesthetic thought highlights its central role in his work and its relevance to modern aesthetic discussions. By analyzing the interplay between anthropological and aesthetic concepts, Wiseman illustrates how Lévi-Strauss's theories inform our understanding of Amerindian masks, body decoration, and mythology. He emphasizes the impact of Lévi-Strauss's analysis of 'untamed' thinking on art and aesthetic experience, ultimately connecting structural anthropology to ethnoaesthetics through a multidisciplinary lens.
