“…Os passos fundamentais do método são: a construção de modelos (idealizações) das relações entre elementos possíveis; a apropriação dos modelos mediante comparação, transposição, composição e demais operações lógi-cas, construídas a partir do empiricamente observado; e a sua objetivação, mediante a descrição e a interpretação das estruturas encontradas (Viet, 1973;Lévi-Strauss, 1962a, 1962bLeach, 1973;Kronenfeld, 1979;Dosse, 1993).…”

O trabalho individualizado: da venda à dádiva

Este artigo estabelece um paralelo entre a categoria da dádiva, tal como definida por Marcel Mauss, e as estruturas relacionais do trabalho. Com base em pesquisa realizada junto a 122 organizações públicas e privadas, de diversos setores da economia, foi possível identificar: a superação da estrutura do trabalho em equipe (teamwork) e a prevalência de uma estrutura que privilegia o trabalho individualizado. A partir dessa constatação, o artigo discute a possibilidade de que o sistema de compra-venda do trabalho fragmentado esteja sendo substituído pelo sistema da dádiva-reconhecimento do trabalho individualizado. A pesquisa cujos resultados são comentados neste artigo indica que esse movimento não é fruto de uma evolução ou de uma circunstância momentânea, mas de uma mutação. Na tentativa de sobreviver às pressões do mercado, as organizações se encontraram na contingência de impor uma mudança radical na gestão de seus ativos. Como decorrência, a maneira como os recursos humanos são contratados, utilizados e descartados se alterou. A forma estrutural do trabalho-mercadoria vendido fragmentariamente se viu substituída pela estrutura em que o resultado do trabalho em lotes e frações integrais é transacionado contra recompensas que transcendem a simples remuneração.

“…Lévi-Strauss' reliance on an analogy between the structure of myths and that of structural linguistics has been strongly questioned (e.g., Caton 1987). While his ontology for the dualisms is drawn from linguistics (see Kronenfeld & Decker 1979 for an account of the influence of structuralist linguists Saussure and Jakobsen on Lévi-Strauss), this does not require that the cross-cultural observations of concentric and diametric dualism and examination of their relative differences are to be confined to examination only from within a paradigm drawn from linguistics. The archetypal structures of relation in relation, namely, diametric and concentric dualism, share with language the feature of being a system of relations but are not necessarily reducible to a linguistic system.…”

“…One reason D’Aquili (1975) suggests Lévi‐Strauss was reluctant to expressly acknowledge any Jungian influence is due to his view of Jung as a Lamarckian, believing in the scientifically discredited assumption of the inheritance of acquired characteristics. Elsewhere in anthropology, Lewis (1985) again accepts that Jung was clearly an important influence on Lévi‐Strauss, though Kronenfeld & Decker (1979) comment on Lévi‐Strauss’ work without any acknowledgment of Jungian parallels:…”

Cross‐cultural structures of concentric and diametric dualism in Lévi‐Strauss’ structural anthropology: structures of relation underlying the self and ego relation?

The parallels between Jung's and Lévi-Strauss' concentric cross-cultural structures of the unconscious are highlighted. Lévi-Strauss' basic contrasts between concentric and diametric dualisms are developed into psychologically relevant differences regarding symmetry, connection and separation, and interaction between foreground and background structures respectively. These contrasts between concentric and diametric structures are applied as a common structural framework for understanding Jungian conceptions of the self, the ego and their relations, Freudian views of compensation and repetition in obsessional neurosis, and Winnicott's conception of a child's transitional object. Developing the contrasts between concentric and diametric structures reveals a compensatory relation between both structures. This supports an argument that concentric structures express the self and diametric structures express the ego in their mutual compensatory interrelation. Contrasting concentric with diametric structures challenges traditional Western logic, including Fordham's view that it is contradictory to treat the self as both centre and totality. It also develops an understanding of Jung's transcendent function which seeks to go beyond the egoshadow opposition.

“…Saussurean "signs") of contrast and inclusion from the pragmatic Schemas (of action, connection, function, etc.) that the terms reference, postulating that semantic extension is a function of paradigmatic contrasts within a domain, 9 Kronenfeld's treatment of the paradigmatic (in Saussure's sense, see Kronenfeld and Decker 1979) structure of terminological categories developed out of anthropological work on componential analysis (e.g., Lounsbury 1964a, Goodenough 1956, Wallace and Atkins 1962, and Romney and D'Andrade 1964. The treatment of semantic extension developed out of Lounsbury's (1964b) work on Crow-and Omaha-type kin terminologies and Berlin and Kay's work on color, and contrasts with the fuzzy set approach of Kempton (1981) as well as with the kind of prototype approach seen in Rosch's work (e.g., Rösch et al 1976).…”
