The best in my field is Claude Levis Strauss, for me is "the viejo Claudio", he born in 1908, and in actuality is in 100 years old. I knew him in the University, and belive that never i’ll go to see in the flesh. The viejo Claudio is a great men because he studied all of cultures in our continent. The firs investigation that he mades was in Bazil, but in any time before he knews a lot of americans aborigens.
In 1949 he wrote “estructuras elementales de parentesco” that trys of to found the fudamentals elements that are presents in all societys of the world. In this book the viejo Claudio back up her ideas in the Works of Sigmund Freud, principaly Levi – Strauss use the “tabú del incesto” concept for explain the relations betwen the familys members. Then he worked in others topics of the culture, as well as, analysis of myths, ways to cook, etc. But alway puting to de base the opposition nature and culture.
In the present Cluade Levi- Strauss is recognized as an icon of the estructuralism theory. I think that is the more important exponent and he continue to writing about this topic.
