%X Au d¨¦but des ann¨¦es 1950, ¨¤ la suite de la publication des Structures ¨¦l¨¦mentaires de la parent¨¦, L¨¦vi-Strauss cherche ¨¤ donner un second ¨¦lan ¨¤ sa recherche. Le corpus ethnographique consacr¨¦ aux Indiens d¡¯Am¨¦rique du Nord joue alors un r le crucial dans cette phase de son histoire intellectuelle, lui permettant de d¨¦finir la m¨¦thode d¡¯analyse des mythes qu¡¯il d¨¦ploiera dans Les Mythologiques. Un nouveau degr¨¦ de complexit¨¦ ethnographique s¡¯impose ¨¤ lui ; elle aura pour cons¨¦quence le renoncement au paradigme primitiviste qui le hantait jusqu¡¯alors At the beginning of the 1950s, following the publication of Les Structures ¨¦l¨¦mentaires de la parent¨¦, L¨¦vi-Strauss tried to give a second impulse to his research. The ethnographical corpus dedicated to the North American Indians thus played a crucial role in this phase of his intellectual story, allowing him to define the method of analysis of the myths that he will display in Les Mythologiques.  A new degree of ethnographical complexity imposes itself upon him; the consequence will be the renunciation of the primitivist paradigm which haunted him until then
