«El mundo comenzó sin el hombre y terminará sin él. Las instituciones, las costumbres y los usos, que yo habré inventariado en el transcurso de mi vida, son la eflorescencia pasajera de una creación en relación con la cual quizá no posean otro sentido que el de permitir a la humanidad cumplir allí su papel. Lejos de que ese papel le marque un lugar independiente, y de que el esfuerzo del hombre —aun condenado— consista en oponerse vanamente a una decadencia universal, aparece él mismo como una máquina, quizá más perfeccionada que las otras, que trabaja por la disgregación de un orden original y precipita una materia poderosamente organizada hacia una inercia siempre mayor, que un día será definitiva.»
Claude Lévi-Strauss: Tristes trópicos, págs. 466-467. Ediciones Paidós. Barcelona, 1998

Ein Wort präzise zu definieren, ist eine vorzügliche geistige Übung. Man ermisst, in welchem Maße man im Alltagsleben bloß ungefähren oder irrigen Gebrauch von der Sprache macht.
Claude Lévi-Strauss: "Das Nahe und das Ferne", S.159

"Can I call you 'Drias?"
"Only one person ever called me that"
"Oh! Gotcha! Too personal. Boundaries, Marcy!"
My babygirl blaming herself and her difficulty reading social cues when she didn't do anything 😭 how was she supposed to know it was "too personal"?? She automatically assumes she did something wrong she assumes she messed up my BABY
#amphibia#my posts#also andrias that is one big fat LIE both Leif and Barrel called you 'Drias#this useless fucking idiot forgot he had a whole ass boyfriend back then 😭😭😭#also -> Marcy having trouble remembering she needs to respect people's boundaries to the point she has a little mantra#to remind herself of that. + the 'prom?' poster reading 'yes or YES' = Marcy crossing the boundaries of her friendship with anne and sasha#by fantazising about going to prom with them. something stereotypically romantic#this is what my friend claude (xx century french anthropologist claude lévi-straus father of functional-structuralism) would call#the ''exaggeration'' of a bond. in his analysis of the myth of Oedipus and in how he linked it to the myth of Antigone#Oedipus incestuous relationship with his mother is analogous to Antigone violating the city laws to illegally bury her dead brother#this is: the exaggeration of a familial bond beyond the reach of what is socially acceptable (yes it's far fetched yes i know yes#yes we talked about it in class)#this is opposed to Oedipus killing his father: the underestimation of familial bonds.#which is analogous to the war between atens and sparta: slaughter among brothers#in this case Marcy's continuous violation of her friends' boundaries betrays an exaggeration of their bond#as exemplified by her ''wanting to take them to prom'' in a ''dream'' (which would be very jungian of her)#don't take my word for this tho because i got a 2 on my last exam so clearly i need to read my lévi-strauss again

Was reading Lévi-Stauss's chapter on the construction of mythology in Structural Anthropology for my work, and this quote just made me think of Alan's writing in the dark place...
"Thus, myth grows spiral-wise until the intellectual impulse which has produced it is exhausted. Its growth is a continuous process, whereas its structure remains discontinuous" (1963, 229)
#alan wake 2#alan wake 2 spoilers#claude lévi strauss#alan I know you're having a bad time but let me just do a semiotic analysis of your writing real quick thanks

„Wir verehren bestimmte Synthesen von hoher Komplexität. Es erschiene uns als ein Desaster, eine Weltkatastrophe, wenn alle Werke Rembrandts oder Michelangelos vernichtet würden. Wenn es sich aber um noch unendlich komplexere und unersetzlichere Synthesen handelt, nämlich um Arten von Lebewesen, Tiere oder Pflanzen, dann handeln wir mit völliger Gleichgültigkeit und Verantwortungslosigkeit.“ Claude Lévi-Strauss

Un mythe aranda traduit bien ce sentiment d'une correspondance entre l'individuation géographique et l'individuation biologique : les êtres divins primitifs étaient informes, sans membres, et fondus ensemble, jusqu'à ce que survînt le dieu Mangarkunjerkunja (le lézard gobe-mouches) qui entreprit de les séparer les uns des autres et de les façonner individuellement. En même temps (et n'est-ce pas en effet la même chose?) il leur enseigna les arts de la civilisation et le système des sections et des sous-sections.
(Claude Lévi-Strauss, La Pensée sauvage)

«Si, como creemos nosotros la actividad inconsciente del espíritu consiste en imponer formas a un contenido, y si estas formas son fundamentalmente las mismas para todos los espíritus, antiguos y modernos, primitivos y civilizados —como lo demuestra de manera tan brillante el estudio de la función simbólica, tal como esta se expresa en el lenguaje—, es necesario y suficiente alcanzar la estructura inconsciente que subyace en cada institución o en cada costumbre para obtener un principio de interpretación válida para otras instituciones y otras costumbres, a condición, naturalmente, de llevar lo bastante adelante el análisis».

“If we are led to believe that what takes place in our mind is something not substantially or fundamentally different from the basic phenomenon of life itself, and if we are led then to the feeling that there is not this kind of gap which is impossible to overcome between mankind on the one hand and all the other living beings - not only animals, but also plants - on the other, then perhaps we will reach more wisdom, let us say, than we think we are capable of.”

Von dem Augenblick an, da der Mensch keine Grenze seiner Macht mehr kennt, neigt er zur Selbstzerstörung.
