| − | The key example Žižek takes from Lévi-Strauss is his famous analysis
| |
| − | in Structural Anthropology concerning two different groups from the
| |
| − | same tribe, each conceiving of their village in a different way. Zižek's
| |
| − | point is that the "truth of the village is to be found neither in some
| |
| − | reconciliation of the two competing versions nor in some neutral,
| |
| − | "objective' overhead view, but in this very split itself: "Returning to
| |
| − | Lévi-Strauss's example of the two drawings of the village, let us note
| |
| − | that it is here that we can see in what precise sense the Real intervenes
| |
| − | through anamorphosis' (p.338). This will be related by Zižek to that
| |
| − | fundamental 'split' of sexual difference, where again the "truth' is not
| |
| − | to be found in some reconciliation or putting together of a whole, but
| |
| − | in the antagonism itself. As he asks: 'How ... are we to understand
| |
| − | the "ahistorical" status of sexual difference? Perhaps an analogy to
| |
| − | Claude Lévi-Strauss's notion of the "zero-institution" might be of
| |
| − | some help here' (p. 335-6). Žižek will use Adorno's analysis of the
| |
| − | social in exactly the same sense as that of Lévi-Strauss here.
