Claude Levi-Strauss was a media theorist who studied hundreds of myths and concluded that humans make sense of the world by seeing binary opposites such as good vs evil, weak vs strong, and man vs nature. His theory was that narrative structures are based around these conflicts between binary opposites, which are at the climax of the story. Levi-Strauss' theory suggests binaries like a generic middle class family contrasted with the protagonist selling herself for income in one film.

Claude Levi-Strauss argued that narratives can be reduced to binary oppositions such as good vs evil, white vs black, and strong vs weak. He introduced the concept of binary oppositions as a useful way to understand how meaning is constructed in narratives. Levi-Strauss believed that meaning depends on these opposing concepts, and that words derive meaning only from their relationship to other opposing ideas.Levi strauss narrative theory presentation

Levi-Strauss argued that all narratives can be reduced down to binary opposites such as Americans vs Native Americans, weak vs strong, east vs west, 'backward cultures' vs 'modern cultures', and good vs evil. He provided examples of common binary opposites found in narratives including Americans vs Native Americans, weak vs strong, and east vs west which often frame 'backward cultures' against 'modern cultures'.Claude lévi strauss

Claude Levi-Strauss was a French anthropologist known for his work on structuralism and structural anthropology. He believed that language and thought are structured through binary oppositions, or contrasting terms like good and evil, light and dark. According to Levi-Strauss, these opposing concepts shape how we understand and perceive the world. Examples of binary oppositions in stories include heroes versus villains, as seen in Harry Potter with Harry/Voldemort and in Batman with Batman/Joker.Claude Levi Strauss

Claude Levi Strauss was a pioneering French anthropologist and structuralist thinker. He believed that narratives are driven by conflicts between binary oppositions such as good vs evil. This theory helped establish structuralism as a concept. It also explains how media engages audiences through the use of protagonists, antagonists, conflict, and resolution. Levi Strauss' work is still influential for media students in understanding structuralism and deconstructing genres.Claude levi strauss powerpt

Claude Levi-Strauss was a French anthropologist and linguist who is considered the founder of structuralism. He studied language, philosophy and psychology scientifically and believed that analyzing the fundamental structures of human thought could reveal underlying patterns. Some of his most famous works where Tristes Tropiques, The Savage Mind and The Raw and the Cooked, in which he explained his view that human thought incorporates both "savage" and "civilized" elements, based on his field work with tribes in Brazil.Claude levi strauss

Claude Levi-Strauss was a French anthropologist who developed the theory of binary oppositions. He believed that the meaning we derive from words depends not on their literal definition but on their relationship with their opposite. Binary oppositions structure how we understand concepts through paired ideas like good vs evil, light vs dark, past vs future. The document provides examples of how binary oppositions are used in film trailers to set up conflicts between protagonists and antagonists, characters with contrasting personalities, and themes of love vs war or humans vs zombies.Claude Lévi Strauss - Media Theorist

Claude Lévi-Strauss was a French anthropologist and ethnologist who introduced the theory of binary oppositions. He suggested that narratives are driven by conflicts between theoretical opposites such as good vs evil, male vs female, and dark vs light. This theory of structuralism analyzes how opposing concepts define each other and is important for assessing groups of texts and genres. Lévi-Strauss believed examining myths revealed juxtaposed binary opposites that operate unconsciously in people's minds.Claude levi strauss

Claude Levi-Strauss was a French structuralist anthropologist who was born in 1908 in Belgium and died in 2009 in France at the age of 100. He studied myths and legends from around the world and found that humans make sense of the world through "binary opposites". Narratives are often structured around the conflict between pairs of opposing concepts like good vs evil, young vs old, and man vs woman. His theory was that the conflict at the core of many stories is based on the opposition between these binary concepts.Year 12 to Year 13 Transition Project

Claude Levi-Strauss was a French anthropologist who argued that human minds have universal structures across cultures. He is known for his theory of binary oppositions, which says that meaning comes from contrasting ideas like good vs evil, dark vs light, and protagonist vs antagonist. Examples of binary oppositions can be seen across genres in films, such as power dynamics in Schindler's List, dual identities in Spiderman, and contrasting personalities in Role Models.

Tzvetan Todorov was a Bulgarian-French historian, philosopher, and literary critic known for his work in several fields including anthropology, sociology, and literary theory. He proposed a narrative theory consisting of 5 stages: 1) equilibrium, 2) disruption, 3) recognition of disorder, 4) attempt to repair damage, 5) new equilibrium. This theory can be applied to narratives like A Clockwork Orange which follows Alex's progression from living freely to being imprisoned and "cured" then released.

This document discusses three theories of media narrative:
1. Propp's theory argues that all stories share the same internal structure of 8 character roles and 31 functions.
2. Levi-Strauss studied how primitive societies functioned and argued they shared elements with advanced societies. He looked at binary oppositions between groups.
3. Equilibrium theory says all stories are about returning to normality after an event disrupts the equilibrium. It examines what event caused the disruption and how the narrative works to restore balance.Media conventions

Claude Levi-Strauss was a French anthropologist who developed a theory about binary oppositions in narratives. He believed stories unconsciously reflect a culture's values through opposing themes like good vs evil, humans vs aliens, past vs present. His research showed how examining these symbolic oppositions can reveal underlying themes in media texts. Andrew Goodwin identified five key aspects of music videos for analysis: how visuals relate to sound, narrative and performance, the star image, how visuals relate to song, and technical aspects. His framework helps analyze how meaning is constructed through narrative in music videos.Narrative theories 2

Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian folktales and identified common narrative elements like character archetypes. He found heroes, villains, dispatchers who send heroes on quests, donors who give heroes gifts, and helpers who aid heroes. Claude Levi-Strauss applied structural linguistics to anthropology. He believed cultures could be understood by studying myths and how they use binary oppositions. Narratives often involve conflicts between opposites like hero/villain and imprisonment/freedom. Levi-Strauss argued binary pairs and favored/disfavored relationships form the basis of human thought and culture.Claud levi strauss

Claude Levi-Strauss was a renowned French anthropologist born in 1908 who developed the theory of binary opposition. Binary opposition proposes that concepts in language and culture are organized into opposing pairs, such as rich/poor, black/white, and up/down. Levi-Strauss believed myths across cultures shared underlying structures that could be understood through binary oppositions. His theory was demonstrated in the film "Titanic" which segregated passengers by class and in Benetton advertisements that depicted people as only black or white.Genre 2d

Claude Levi-Strauss was a renowned 20th century French anthropologist and philosopher known for establishing structuralism. He studied myths from diverse cultures and found they shared more similarities than differences, with humans making sense of the world through binary oppositions. Levi-Strauss emphasized the importance of binary structures in myth systems and language. He believed that underlying all meaning-making and social life were reconciliations of common binary opposites, showing that patterns of human thought are fundamentally the same across societies.Representation power

Representations are images, sounds or combinations that stand in for reality. Early forms of representation date back 32,000 years, showing an intrinsic human urge. Representations can be stereotypical or counter stereotypical, conforming to or challenging dominant ideologies. Theories suggest representations are how societies understand themselves and construct shared realities and identities, though some argue they are manipulated by those in power to maintain the status quo.Claude levi strauss

Propp's character theory identifies 7 broad character types that commonly appear in folk tales and other narratives: the Hero, Villain, Donor, Dispatcher, False Hero, Helper, and Princess. Though originally developed to analyze folk tales, the theory is still useful because it focuses on the narrative functions of characters rather than their individual traits or genders. Critics argue the theory may dismiss non-male narratives, but proponents counter that the gender of a character does not impact their narrative function.More Related Content

He found that narratives are structured around conflicts between binaries. Some examples of films that use binary opposition are The Dark Knight, Spiderman, and Lord of the Rings, which feature conflicts between heroes and villains.

Levi-Strauss proposed that narratives rely on a chain of opposites to convey meaning to audiences through contrast. Originally, binary oppositions in films were simple, such as good versus evil, but modern narratives employ more complex opposites that are revealed gradually, like vampires versus werewolves in Twilight. However, critics argue binary opposition theory is incomplete, as many concepts have a medium between extremes, such as middle-class between rich and poor or bisexual between gay and straight.Narrative theories

Levi-Strauss viewed narratives as being structured around binary oppositions. Barthes identified five narrative codes that make up every narrative.Representation

The document discusses representation in TV drama, specifically focusing on stereotypes. It defines representation as how groups, individuals, or social changes are portrayed through media, which may not reflect reality. Stereotypes are discussed as shorthand assumptions that have reached a social consensus, though they can be misleading. While stereotypes are socially constructed and reflect dominant ideologies, they can also be reinforced, challenged, or constructed by media representation. Common gender stereotypes of "dumb blondes" and "macho men" are described, noting they contain some contradictory elements.More from Zara Bhatti (20)

Lighting Zara Bhatti
Ìý
Films require lighting because film and video see contrast in a much more extreme way than human eyes. Without additional lighting, shadows will be too dark and highlights will be completely white in films. To make a scene look natural on film, it requires enough lighting to allow the film to see the scene similarly to how the human eye sees it. Lighting also helps set the mood of the film and is necessary for many situations where natural light alone would not properly expose a scene, such as night exterior shoots.Genres in short films 
Genres in short films Zara Bhatti
Ìý
There are four main genres of short films: romance, comedy/dark comedy, sci-fi/fantasy, and drama. Romance films follow characters' journeys to love, often dealing with passion and emotion. Comedies and dark comedies aim to make audiences laugh, sometimes through humorously dark stories that usually have happy endings. Sci-fi and fantasy films are set in futuristic or imaginary worlds that rely on technology or the imagination. Drama films portray real-life situations. Film noir is not a specific genre but has a mood of cynicism and deals with crime stories involving a disillusioned male and seductive femme fatale.Conventions from real media texts

The document discusses conventions taken from the film "We're the Millers" and applied to the author's own film. Some conventions that were used include having the protagonist Sarah portrayed as a seductive yet maternal character similar to Rose Miller. Additionally, both films start the protagonists in an unethical living/financial situation and end with the protagonists finding love and a happy ending. Family is a main theme in both but the author's film explores the theme in a more sexualized way between husband and wife.Focus and depth of field 
Focus and depth of field Zara Bhatti
Ìý
Depth of field refers to the area of an image that appears sharp, and can be manipulated to achieve different visual effects. It is determined by the aperture, focal length, and focus distance of the camera. A wide aperture results in a shallow depth of field where parts of the frame are out of focus, while a narrow aperture creates a deep depth of field where the entire frame is in focus. Selective focus using a shallow depth of field draws attention to a specific area by keeping it sharp while blurring other parts of the frame.Asa

- 1. M E D I A T H E O R I S T CLAUDE LEVI STRAUSS
- 2. WHAT WAS HIS THEORY? Strauss studied hundreds of myths and from that he concluded that we as humans, as people make sense of the world, people and events by seeing and using binary opposites. Later he discovered that narratives are used based on binary opposites. Example of binary opposition: good vs evil weak vs strong fast vs slow man vs nature Binary opposition: the words ‘binary opposition’ simply symbolise actions for society’s ideas, in language and thought, two theoretical opposites are strictly defined and set off against each other.
- 4. THEORY SUMMARY Levi Strauss’ theory is based is that the conflict in a narrative structure is based on around the binary opposites and that the binary oppositions are centre climax of the structure. In terms of my film, there isn’t so much of Levi Strauss’ theory included. However; there is a slight binary opposition of the generic middle class family as the audience are made to think the main protagonist sells herself for income which is the binary opposition for this class.
