This paper presents a modeling and simulation approach in order to perform a generative analysis of folktales aimed at validating Claude Levi-Strauss’ theory and method. To this aim, a discrete-event simulation is proposed. The simulation is based on the development of a set of discrete-event models dedicated to generating a set of folktales from an initial one, according to Claude Levi-Strauss’ structural analysis based on symmetry and double twist transformations. This paper describes in detail how these discrete-event models have been implemented in the framework of the DEVSimPy software environment by using myths of Native American mythology and folktales of Corsican oral literature. The validation involved the following steps: (i) definition of a reference folktale (according to Claude Levi-Strauss’ methodology) (ii) generation of a set of folktales by performing their own transformations (iii) generation of a graph allowing to analyze the links that have been created after performing a set of folktales transformations. Finally, the computational validation of Levi-Strauss’s method is intended to ground a new research that may reformulate structural analysis and elaborate a neo-structural model of canonical formalization based on transformational morphodynamics. The aim is to conceptualize and measure recursively the structural dynamics and the recurrent patterns of current identity transformations in liberal democracies, especially in US and EU contexts where ethnic/racial divisions and migration challenges are becoming more acute than ever.

基于对称和双扭曲变换的 Claude Lévi-Strauss 神话结构分析的离散事件模拟

本文提出了一种建模和模拟方法，以对民间故事进行生成分析，旨在验证克劳德·列维-斯特劳斯的理论和方法。为此，提出了离散事件模拟。根据 Claude Levi-Strauss 基于对称性和双扭曲变换的结构分析，模拟基于一组离散事件模型的开发，这些模型致力于从最初的民间故事生成一组民间故事。本文详细描述了这些离散事件模型是如何通过使用美洲原住民神话和科西嘉口头文学的民间故事在 DEVSimPy 软件环境的框架中实现的。验证涉及以下步骤：(i) 参考民间故事的定义（根据 Claude Levi-Strauss 的方法） (ii) 通过执行他们自己的转换生成一组民间故事 (iii) 生成允许分析执行后创建的链接的图一组民间故事转换。最后，Levi-Strauss 方法的计算验证旨在为一项新研究奠定基础，该研究可能会重新制定结构分析并阐述基于转换形态动力学的规范形式化的新结构模型。目的是递归地概念化和衡量自由民主国家当前身份转变的结构动态和反复出现的模式，特别是在种族/种族分裂和移民挑战比以往任何时候都更加严峻的美国和欧盟背景下。
