Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Lectures & Seminars

Biography, a genre which has long been considered illegitimate as historiography, can be considered today as a laboratory for the writing of the social sciences, including, paradoxically, a way of understanding the social sciences themselves.  Drawing on her recently published, critically acclaimed biography of Claude Lévi-Strauss, Emmanuelle Loyer discusses Lévi-Strauss through the double lenses of biography and the social sciences.
