The Age of
Structuralism
From Levi-Strauss to Foucault
Edith Kurzweil
With a new introduction by the author
Structuralism began in linguistics and was
enlarged by Claude Levi-Strauss into a
new way of thinking that views our world as
consisting of relationships between
structures we create rather than of
objective realities. This book examines the
work of seven writers who either expanded
upon or reacted against Levi-Strauss.
The key figures dealt with include: Louis
Althusser, Henri Lefebvre, Paul Ricoeur,
Alain Touraine, Jacques Lacan, Roland
Barthes, and Michel Foucault. Placing
these major figures in the context of
political, historical, and psychoanalytic
currents of the time, this is a commanding
and far-reaching study of a decisive epoch
in intellectual history.
