Which anthropologist founded a structure based on Mauss's teachings?
Franz Boas
Bronislaw Malinowski
Claude Lévi-Strauss
Margaret Mead
Answer
Claude Lévi-Strauss, a prominent anthropologist, established a theoretical framework rooted in the teachings of Marcel Mauss. Lévi-Strauss's structuralism viewed human societies and cultures as systems governed by underlying structures, much like language is structured by grammar. This approach emphasized the role of unconscious mental processes in shaping social institutions, kinship systems, and cultural practices.
