Claude Levi-Strauss was a French social anthropologist and leading exponent of structuralism, a name applied to the analysis of cultural systems (e.g., kinship and mythical systems) in terms of the structural relations among their elements. Structuralism has influenced not only social science but also the study of philosophy, comparative religion, literature, and film.
