The worldwide legacy of Claude Lévi-Strauss
"The Levi-Strauss century" – with a full-page portrait, Libération pays hommage to the father of modern anthropology, who died on 30 October at age of 100. His most celebrated work Tristes Tropiques – an account of his encounters with Indian tribes in Brazil, published in 1955 – launched his reputation as a world renowned writer and scholar. Structuralism – the quest to uncover "universal structures" that regulate societies – became the label for his school of thought, which proved to be hugely influential not only in anthropology and ethnology, but also in philosophy, linguistics and psychoanalysis. Claude Lévi-Strauss's greatest contribution, concludes Libération, was "to negate any notion of the superiority of one culture over anotherdefinitively." In Le Figaro, writer and fellow member of the Académie française, Jean d'Ormesson, notes that "his loss will be felt in Harvard and Yale, in Brazil and in all the universities of the world. He may well be the last French intellectual to leave such a worldwide legacy."
Two camps, two theories, and two visions of France: 18 years after the massacre of 800,000 Tutsis, the precise role played by Paris is still the subject of heated debate, fueled by the findings of successive criminal investigations. 
Agree to new austerity measures or risk being kicked out of the eurozone: that’s the alternative presented to Athens on the day the euro group is meeting. It’s a situation Greek politicians have failed to avoid, regrets To Vima. 
At a time when Athens is still involved in debt restructuring negotiations with its private creditors, Neelie Kroes’ recent allusions to a Greek exit from the euro are a sign that European leaders are intent on preparing the terrain for such an eventuality.
