Levi Strauss' Binary opposition Theory
Common binary opposites
- Light vs Dark
- Good vs Bad
- Sane vs Insane
- Male vs Female
- Man vs Alien
- Levi-Strauss proposed the theory that all narratives must be driven forward by conflict caused by opposing forces e.g. good vs bad
- He believed that the way we understand certain words depends on our understanding of the difference between the word and its 'opposite'
- He also believed that a narrative can only end on the resolution of conflict
Levi-Strauss was a French anthrophologist and ethnologist and is often referred to as the 'Father of moden anthrophology'
