Post-structuralist critics, notably Jacques Derrida, challenged whether Lévi-Strauss's binary-opposition-based mental structures are truly universal and objectively discoverable in the data, or whether the "mythemes" and structural patterns he identified are shaped by his own analytical choices rather than found independently in every culture he studied.
What would resolve this Independent replication of Lévi-Strauss's structural analyses on the same myth corpora by analysts working from different theoretical starting points, checking whether they converge on the same underlying structures.
