It is about one year since Levi-Sturass passed away. It seems that many of his achievements should be developed by future generation. This time Professor Frédéric Keck, who conducts anthropological research on infectious diseases with the help of structural anthropology, will lecture titled "Anthropology since Levi-Sturass". He will examine Alban Bensa's Apres Levi-Strauss : Pour une anthropologie a taille humaine and discuss how we can position Levi-Sturass in today's anthropology and what we can draw from him.
＊Lecture is conducted in English, but there is no interpretation service.
