Members

The "Anthropology of Life" research team is housed in the Laboratory of Social Anthropology, founded by Claude Lévi-Strauss in 1960. It benefits from institutional links with the Collège de France and the influence of the University of Paris Sciences et Lettres. , EHESS and CNRS. 

Around the senior members, the team intends to promote the integration of young researchers in the research professions. In addition to the regular presentation of their work, they participate in the organization of scientific activities, the management of research programs and collective publications. In all these activities, we strive to achieve gender parity. 

The integration of the team into an international network is guaranteed by the presence of researchers attached to institutions in several countries: France, United Kingdom, Belgium, Italy, Russia, United States, Mexico, Brazil. 

In addition to regular encounters within the framework of meetings and research retreats, the members of the team lead a reading group to develop a critical and collective reading of the major texts relating to their research issues. It is in this spirit that a documentary fund bringing together to date nearly 500 works has been established. The “Anthropology of life” seminar given by Perig Pitrou at the EHESS constitutes another place of exchange.
