One such advance is Dumont's idea of hierarchical opposition, which he proposed as a truer representation of indigenous ideologies than L騅i-Strauss's binary opposition. In this book the author argues that, although structuralism is often thought to have gone out of fashion, Dumont's greater concern with praxis and agency makes his own version of structuralism more contemporary. The work of his followers and fellow travelers, as well as his own, indicates that hierarchical opposition is capable of taking structuralism in new and more realistic directions, reminding us that it has never been the preserve of L騅i-Strauss alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Parkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845456475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845456474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.55d","brand":"Robert Parkin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125462364415,"sku":"9781845456474","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59cf47d9-778d-46d9-92a6-2ef8feef4514.jpg?v=1687442765","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/louis-dumont-and-hierarchical-opposition-robert-parkin-9781845456474","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
