Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=10843)
The correct answer choice is (B)
This question requires you to find the answer that most closely parallels the Kayapo’s documentation of their ceremonial performances on video. Turner found that although they were using Western technology, the Kayapo brought in their own aesthetic when creating the videos.
Answer choice (A): This choice lacks the incorporation of new approaches to a traditional work. Furthermore, the introduction of foreign culinary traditions ultimately altered the culinary practices of North America, unlike the Kayapo’s use of video to document ceremonial performances, which were never altered as a result.
Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer choice. Much like the Kayapo, the composers discussed in this choice apply a new approach to their creations but still retain their own aesthetic, creating a nice parallel to the author’s discussion of the Kayapo.
Answer choice (C): The writers in this scenario seek to alter their work in order to take advantage of a new technology. However, the Kayapo never altered their ceremonies to make them more suitable for visual recording, so this answer choice cannot provide a suitable analogy.
Answer choice (D): This choice deals with imitation of earlier work, which is not analogous to what the Kayapo did.
Answer choice (E): The artists discussed in this choice reject one tradition of painting in favor of another. This does not parallel the Kayapo’s use of video, because they neither rejected their own culture, nor embraced another artistic tradition.
