Synopsis
La fascinación que los mitos ejercen sobre sus creyentes es apenas mayor que la fascinación que ejercen sobre los académicos que los estudian. Este es el caso de Lé su método -una de las más celebres aportaciones a la disciplina antropológica del siglo XX- parte de la idea de que todo pensamiento humano puede ser reducido a un patrón fundamental, que consiste, por una parte, en la oposición de dos categorías y, por la otra, en la mediación gracias a una tercera.En este segundo volumen de Mitológicas, Lévi-Strauss emprende un análisis de las relaciones entre los mitos de la miel y el tabaco. La miel tiene como característica la seducción y el deseo, conduce al hombre a una degradación y representa la caída al estado salvaje. El tabaco, por el contrario, se quema y, por lo tanto, se cocina; representa dominio de la naturaleza y supone la vuelta al estado de cultura. A través de la oposición miel-tabaco el autor descubre significados insospechados y penetra en lo más profundo de los procesos de pensamiento. El resultado no podría ser más el hombre civilizado no se distingue del primitivo en su calidad de pensamiento, sino solo en los medios para expresarlo.
