Transformation transformed
Abstract
The key methodological tool of Lévi-Straussian structural anthropology is the group of transformation. A structure only acquires an analytical dynamism thanks to its capacity to organize the transformations between the models of a same group of phenomena. The paper explores various approaches to this concept and builds on these results to examine the consequences of apprehending ontological pluralism as a group of transformation.
