LEVI-STRAUSS' IDEA OF 'TORSION'
Languages of publication
Abstracts
The article is focusing on Levi-Straussian concept of 'la torsion' (the twist), which was for a long time fairly neglected by the structuralist criticism. The article consists in three parts. The first one is dedicated to the 'torsion' in the context of Claude Levi-Strauss' works; the second part is trying to take into account different interpretations of the 'twist' within the frame of Canonic Formula, and the third one raises the question about the meaning of the Levi-Straussian twist, which emerges - in view of the present author - as an exponent of crosscultural horizon.
