Geertz versus Levi-Strauss: latent structural dispositions in Geertz "theory of culture"?

These are two authors, in Foucauldian terms that certainly belong to the most influential individuals in socio-cultural anthropology, as well as in the social sciences and interdisciplinary research more broadly. Claude Levi- Strauss became some kind of an "intellectual hero" during the do...
