About the House: Lvi-Strauss and beyond. hardcover 200 p.
内容
Inspired by Leve-Strauss's suggestion that the multi-functional noble houses of Medieval Europe were simply tghe best-known examples of a widespread social institution, the contributors analyse `house' systems in Southeast Asia and South America. They explore the interrelationships between buildings, people, and ideas, revealing ways in which houses can stand for social groups and serve as images of process and order.
