[melancholinary · Rating 3 out of 5]

An homage to structural anthropology and binary opposition which highly associate to Lévi-Strauss by Viveiros. For me this short essay is quite impenetrable, however, it is fascinating to see how mathematics is implied in problematising dualism, which also inspired Lévi-Strauss's research and practice.
