Abstract
The study focuses on the subject that Lévi-Strauss never devoted himself to in a systematic way. In spite of this fact, the study tries to show that the opinions on the urban space are important for us to understand the basis of his method, as well as to get closer to the places where his thinking opens to the new perspectives of the anthropological studies.
When analyzing these opinions, we find that on the one hand they confirm the primary trend of his method, which is the orientation towards unconscious models; on the other hand, however, we see the role of collective conscience in a new light. Eventually we will have to correct the idea about the relation between structures and their demographic substance.
