The World of Lévi-Strauss
Structure refers to the invisible connections that give Order to a group or entity. It is not something imposed from the outside, but rather inherent within propositions. It can be likened to the concept of Is essence periodicity?. It is not a convenient abstraction like Technique. The concept of Order and Structure are Different is fundamental and opposite to the Incorrect Bisection Method.
In Sad Tropics, it is said that the true nature of something is glimpsed within the wisdom of its efforts to hide itself.
Ethnology is the Science of Description and involves Comparison. It is also known as Functionalism, which is a precursor to Pre-structuralism.
The Cooking triangle #609cf94109c5f20000a186da is an example of the Definition of scope that is not unified. It is similar to the concept of Phoneme in Linguistics. Ambiguity is inherent in it. For example, when it comes to Smoked food, if the desired result is long-lasting, the Means are Unstable. On the other hand, when it comes to Grilled food, if the results are unstable, the means must be stable. Most parameters need to be balanced. This process becomes highly specialized and the structure becomes inherent, like a Fractal.
As a Media Artist, Levi-Strauss sees possibilities. In his works such as Living Things and Things Set on Fire and 蜜から灰へ, he explores the connection between cooking, Mythology, and the roots of linguistics. His expression is incredibly poetic. tkgshnMay 13, 2021
There is Contextuality in his work as an individual, and it was both Novelty and Classical at the time, and it continues to be revered. tkgshnMay 13, 2021
Skillful Work is about starting from the totality of tools that are not specifically made for the job and managing with available means. It is different from Peaceful revolution is "politics" and Slowness (Principles of Primary Knowledge). It involves utilizing remnants from previous structures for new structures without creating anything specifically for that purpose. It includes Analysis (extracting elements from existing entities) and Synthesis (creating new entities from these heterogeneous elements). It also involves skillfully Distribution to compensate for the lack of produced items. Engineers question the universe, while Skillful persons work with the remnants of human-made objects, which are the substructures of culture. This is what Structural means.
Criticism is a characteristic of the most evolved cultures. It involves using the "remnants of things made by human hands" for new structures. While writers question the universe (concept), critics allocate existing remnants (symbols) without achieving their own attempts. It seems to be a summary of Criticism or a critique of those who are "Just a Critic" without creating anything. Those who think, create, and take action are great. What makes the difference between a critic who changes history and just a critic? tkgshnMay 17, 2021
In Literary Criticism, it is distinct from other forms of criticism (such as art or music criticism) because it uses the same materials as the works themselves. It is a Meta-language, a language expression about language expression. Therefore, it is super=literature, which inevitably makes literature itself a subject. tkgshnMay 17, 2021
