FAIR, Hernán. Myth As A Political Factor: Heritages, Dialogues And Convergences Between Lévi Strauss Structural Analysis And Post-Structuralist. Estud. polít. (Méx.) [online]. 2015, n.35, pp.11-38. ISSN 0185-1616.

This paper discusses two aspects of the work of Claude Levi Strauss, on one hand, structural analysis of the myths that has had a significant influence on Social and Human Sciences studies; and secondly, the author notes that few studies have been proposed to consider their points of intersection with posfundacionales and post-structuralist approaches. The text for the item that exposes takes a look at recent analysis of myths that apply these categories from a postfoundational perspective, placing the focus on Latin American studies.

Keywords : Lévi Strauss; myth; structural analysis; post-structuralism; pos-foundational political theory.
