A Musical Analysis of Mythical Thought in the Work of Claude Lévi-Strauss

Original language description

This study addresses the music-related aspects of the works of Claude Lévi-Strauss within the context of musicology and with specific focus placed on his Mythologiques tetralogy. The aim is to define thematic categories for the individual theses within which they are further contextually understood. Selected references to music from Lévi-Strauss?s work were analysed, compared, and interpreted. The topics chosen for the investigation include the system of relationships between language, mythology, and music, the analysis of myths using musical scores, the thesis that both music and myth are instruments that suppress time, the mythical nature of musical forms, and an analysis of Maurice Ravel?s Bolero. The individual categories were defined as structuralhomologies of myth and music, methodological tools of a metaphoric type to analyse myths using music, and the area commenting on the principles governing the styles and forms in the development of European art music and composed poetry.
