a highlight

So, in the discussions of the night, something came up. In discussing the fact that Claude Levi-Strauss has outlived both Pierre Bourdieu and Michel Foucault, the comparison arose comparing CLS to a "highlander" killing other structuralists to gain power. In that spirit, I give you this image.

SCENE: Exterior, a dark alley. A small, old, balding frenchman with glasses and a tweed jacket walks up. From this jacket he inexplicably extracts a claymore.

Claude: binary structures are inherently unstable. There can be only one.
