The pen of Boris Wiseman, the newspaper devoted an entire section to the link between Strauss and maintained the journal under the title "Lévi-Strauss and Modern Times". The first lines of this article and said in 1945, the young Claude Lévi-Strauss, then almost unknown was cultural adviser in New York.

If their intellectual routes by forging differed, Modern Times nevertheless stopped crossing and support the own golf Lévi-Strauss. We will try in this part of dealing with the relationship between Sartre modern times and Strauss. The aim will be to explain why the controversy that pitted Strauss Sartre when she was one of the most important for the future of existentialism was not as slow vi o the large number of small quarrels that the enameled. For this we will use articles written by or about Claude Lévi-Strauss in the review.
It is difficult to get the exact number of articles written a total of Levi-Strauss, according to my research there are a dozen titles written by Strauss, but the number written on Strauss and structuralism is very numerous.

Hence this dialogue at the periphery between the two authors. It even seems that through a number of articles written in the journal, the editorial board surrounding Sartre attempted to find a way out by proposing a structural Marxism.
