Structuralism in social anthropology and general anthropology refers to the production and reproduction of “meaning” in a culture with the help of different activities, phenomena, and different practices that act as a sign of signification. A structuralist theory studies various diverse activities including games, religious rituals, food preparation, non-literary and literary texts, and other modes of entertainment to unearth the various structures of a particular culture with the help of which meaning is produced and reproduced in that culture. For example, in the 1950s Levi-Strauss studied different cultural phenomena like kinship, mythology, and other linguistic-focused writings to unearth the fundamental structures of our mind, trying to find the production and reproduction of meaning.
