I can't make sense of it.

Claude Levi-Strauss (b. Nov. 28, 1908), father of structural anthropology, died in 2009 at age 100 - today would have been his 102nd birthday…
Jewish French by birth, Levi-Strauss lived abroad in connection with field work on many occasions, f. ex. in Brazil. The years during WW II when France was under Nazi occupation, he spent in New York. He wrote about his expatriate years in his 1955 travel account and meditation Triste Tropiques.
His main scientific contributions are found in the volumes The Savage Mind, The Raw and the Cooked, and the 4 volumes of Mythologiques (early 70s)…
“Language is a form of human reason, which has its internal logic of which man knows nothing. […] I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men’s minds without their being aware of the fact.” —C.L.-S.
