ABSTRACT Lévi-Strauss’ concept of the mythical mind, alternatively spoken of as ‘the Wild Mind’, or ‘logic of the concrete’ is the focus of this article. First, it aims at explaining how the mind – and what is ‘on’ the minds of people in a given context – is expressed through diverse media of art, like myths. Through the brief example of Lévi-Strauss’ myth analysis, I attempt to explain how the dilemmas, values and ambiguities of a given group is told through the mythic narrative with all their elements and actors and moreover, how myth analysis reveals such ‘oppositions’ through the narratives’ smallest elements, the mythemes and their internal relationship. Second, this article aims at explaining how rock art is connected to the myths of its context of production, but not as a picture version of the narrative. While myths can be understood through mythemes, rock art can be analyzed by way of the motemes. Motemes are defined as depicted thematizations of topics of great value to the makers of this rock art, and as such, analytical elements which serve as a source to the understanding of the Late Mesolithic mind in northern Europe.

旧石器时代的神话思想——列维-斯特劳斯的重新评价

摘要 Lévi-Strauss 的神话心灵概念，或者被称为“狂野的心灵”或“具体的逻辑”，是本文的重点。首先，它旨在解释心灵——以及在特定背景下人们的“思想”是如何通过各种艺术媒介（如神话）表达的。通过列维-施特劳斯神话分析的简短例子，我试图解释一个特定群体的困境、价值观和歧义是如何通过神话叙事及其所有元素和演员来讲述的，此外，神话分析是如何揭示这种“对立”的通过叙事的最小元素、神话主题及其内部关系。其次，本文旨在解释岩画如何与其生产背景的神话联系起来，而不是作为叙事的图片版本。神话可以通过神话来理解，岩画可以通过记忆来分析。Motemes 被定义为对这种岩石艺术的创作者具有重要价值的主题的描绘主题化，因此，作为理解北欧中石器时代晚期思想的来源的分析元素。
