| Summary: | The article discusses the assimilation of some aspects of Durkheims structuralism by
Bourdieu and Lévi-Strauss. In Durkheims view, the fundamental categories of human
thinking are socially built, due to the ontological priority of the collective. These categories
seem to be structured in opposing pairs. Bourdieu admits that this type of categories is
at the basis of the construction of the social space and habitus, even in contemporary
societies. Although Lévi-Strauss disagrees with Durkheim in terms of problems and
hypotheses, he is in accordance with him on the assumptions of structuralism. He
admits, for instance, that the totemic structure of opposing pairs is a universal category. |
