Anthropologie structurale deux

The Anthropologie structurale deux (also known by the title of Structural Anthropology) is a collection of texts by Claude Lévi-Strauss that was first published in 1973, the year Lévi-Strauss was elected to the Académie française.^[1] The texts are in turn a result of an earlier collection of texts, Anthropologie structurale, that he had published in 1958.

The work is considered to be the origin of the idea of structural anthropology.^[2]
