Bridges: In Honor of Kah Kyung Cho
Merleau-Ponty, Modernism, Structure, and Postmodernism*
Douglas Low
We should revisit Merleau-Ponty’s late essay “From Mauss to Levi-Strauss,”[1] for it is still well worth reading, especially since it provides a viable way between the extremes of modernism and postmodernism. The essay explicitly challenges modernism, embraces a structural, dialectical approach, but does not go as far as many postmodernists who (after Merleau-Ponty’s untimely death in 1961) “run” with structural themes as fast and as far as they can go.
