Story and Narrative - Levi Strauss

Narrative is how a story is told in fictional and non fictional in media texts.


Levi Strauss

• Was a social Anthropologist 

• Studied myths of tribal cultures 

• Examined how stories unconsciously reflect the values, beliefs, and myths of a culture.

• These are usually expressed in the form of binary oppositions 

• His research has been adapted by media theorists to reveal underlying themes and symbolic oppositions by media.
