 Structuralism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Structuralism rejected the concept of human freedom and choice and focused instead on the way that human behavior is determined by various structures.
In literary theory structuralism is an approach to analysing the narrative material by examining the underlying invariant structure.
Structuralism is a general approach in various academic disciplines that explores the interrelationships between fundamental elements of some kind, upon which some higher mental, linguistic, social, cultural etc "structures" are built, through which then meaning is produced within a particular person, system, culture.

 Structuralism - Wikipedia
Where structuralism becomes useful is in organizing large bodies of material, such as the kinship systems that Levi-Strauss initially studied or the mythologies that occupied him later.
He repeatedly contrasts structural anthropology with the work of "functionalists" while relying on two linguistic authorities, Roman Jakobson and Nicolas Troubetzkoy, who are functionalists as far as many linguists are concerned.
When structural analysis is not carried through methodically, specific interpretations can be dismissed with nothing to replace them but arbitrary claims.

 Structuralism
Interestingly, structuralism would eventually be vindicated in this internal behavior criticism, in that the cognitive psychologists, one of the most historically recent schools of psychology, have returned to elaborate speculation about internal, nonobservable phenomenon.
Structuralism can be defined as psychology as the study of the elements of consciousness.
The school of psychology that Wundt began and championed all his life is referred to as "structuralism".

Structural psychology has been less influential, and a number of schools which have historical connections with structural psychology and some common points, I feel cannot be included within the concept.
Structural psychology begins from Wilhelm Wundt& “experimental psychology&;: the mind was defined in terms of the simplest definable components and then to find the way in which these components fit together in complex forms using the tool of controlled introspection.
He also applied his linguistic principles to a study of kinship relationships, and the “structural” idea is here extended to study kinship systems by viewing the “meaning&; of a kinship relationship in any given society as being in the minds of the people, as opposed to reflecting objective relationships of consanguinity.

 Structuralism and Post-structuralism
It became a standard assumption in narratology that the structure of a story was homologous with the structure of a sentence; this assumption allowed the apparatus of sentence-linguistics to be applied to the development of a metalanguage for describing narrative structure...
Structuralism becomes transformed into post-structuralism when the structures of the text are seen to be always structures in and for a subject (reader and critic).
"Structuralism is a philosophical view according to which the reality of the objects of the human or social sciences is relational rather than substantial.

 Post-structuralism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Much of the study of post-structuralism is based on the common critiques of structuralism.
Re-evaluation of the structuralist interpretation of Ferdinand de Saussure's distinction between the historical (diachronic) and the descriptive (synchronic) views is the most that can be credited as a common point of critique which generally led post-structuralists to assert that structural analyses are generally synchronic and thereby suppress historical or diachronic analyses.
Contemporary trends in usage seem to employ the term less; rather than attempting to engage with a specific scholarship (as there is no unified post-structuralist position with which to engage).

 Structuralism
Structuralism is an intellectual movement which bases it analysis on the reduction of materials into models referred to as structures.
Structuralism, however, is not a unified school or methodology; Lévi-Strauss does not have a monopoly on structural studies in anthropology or other disciplines.
The most difficult aspect of structuralism is that these structures are not based on concrete or physical phenomena as they are in biological or other sciences but based on cultural realities such kinship organization or tales.

 structuralism
From the point of view of structuralism all texts, all meaningful events and all signifying practices can be analysed for their underlying structures.
Structural analysis, however, as it was first set up, aimed to do this while remaining unaffected by social and/or cultural systems themselves.
The earliest scholars working in the idiom of structuralism proceeded from the premise that all kinds of cultural activity could be analysed objectively on the model of the empirical sciences.

 structuralism - Columbia Encyclopedia article about structuralism
One of the founders of modern linguistics, he established the structural study of language, emphasizing the arbitrary relationship of the linguistic sign to that which it signifies.
In France after 1968 this search for the deep structure of the mind was criticized by such "poststructuralists" as Jacques Derrida Derrida, Jacques (zhäk` dĕr'rēdä`), 1930–2004, French philosopher, b.
Saussure's key notion of the arbitrary nature of the sign means that the relation of words to things is not natural but conventional; thus a language is essentially a self-contained system of signs, wherein each element is meaningless by itself and meaningful only by its differentiation from the other elements.

 Elements of Structuralism
Structuralism introduces the idea of the 'subject', as opposed to the idea of the individual as a stable indivisible ego.
Structuralism is oriented toward the reader insofar as it says that the reader constructs literature, that is, reads the text with certain conventions and expectations in mind.
Structuralism underlines the importance of genre, i.e., basic rules as to how subjects are approached, about conventions of reading for theme, level of seriousness, significance of language use, and so forth.

Even though structuralism prioritized spatial relations at the expense of historical analysis, creating an environment that would seem to favor a reexamination of cartographic techniques, geographers at first failed to structuralize their discipline.
But there was a discipline-specific reason for this: geography in the sixties had continued to be defined as a science of the relationship between nature and culture, between the elements of geomorphology and climatology and those belonging to the human valorization of natural conditions.
Indeed, no longer content to measure its progress within specific disciplines, with Althusser structuralism broadened its horizons "to include a structuralist philosophy that presented itself as such, and as the expression of the end of philosophy, the possibility of reaching beyond philosophy in the name of theory" (I: 295-6).

 Post Structuralism by Roger Jones
In the study of language, the structural linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913) suggested that meaning was to be found within the structure of a whole language rather than in the analysis of individual words.
Psychoanalysts attempted to describe the structure of the psyche in terms of an unconscious.
For the structuralist the individual is shaped by sociological, psychological and linguistic structures over which he/she has no control, but which could be uncovered by using their methods of investigation.

 Glossary of Terms: St
Many qualitatively different structures overlay each other and interact with each other in the existence of all things - chemical, economic, social, etc. The concept of structure emphasises the aspect of Form which is stable and abstracts from the Content or materiality of things and from the inner contradictions and dynamics of a system.
Structure is also often contrasted with Function, where interconnected processes rather than things are emphasised, and Structuralism.
Materialism differs from structuralism by recognising the necessary interconnection between the multiplicity of interconnected structural forms within any complex and the need to study the development of structures in relation to underlying social developments.

 Some Post-Structuralist Assumptions
structuralism presupposes the traditional and metaphysical notion of harmony and unity; a work is only a work, i.e.
structural analysis is therefore the discovery of the rationality or 'secret coherence' of a text.
structuralism assumes that a work has intrinsic meaning -- that is, it is 'already there' and always there, that the 'meaning' pre-exists its realization (it is already there -- we just identify it).

 SAUSSURE.LEC
So structuralism sees itself as a science of humankind, and works to uncover all the structures that underlie all the things that humans do, think, perceive, and feel--in mathematics, biology, linguistics, religion, psychology, and literature, to name just a few disciplines that use structuralist analyses.
Structuralists believe that the underlying structures which organize units and rules into meaningful systems are generated by the human mind itself, and not by sense perception.
Like all structuralists, he focuses on a SYNCHRONIC analysis of language as a system or structure, meaning that he examines it only in the present moment, without regard to what its past history is, or what its future may be.

First is that we're still going to look at systems or structures, rather than at individual concrete practices, and that all systems or structures have a CENTER, the point of origin, the thing that created the system in the first place.
These binary pairs are the "structures," or fundamental opposing ideas, that Derrida is concerned with in Western philosophy.
This scientific objectivity is achieved by subordinating "parole" to "langue;" actual usage is abandoned in favor of studying the structure of a system in the abstract.

The intentionality of the author is thereby disregarded; language and structures -- not the consciousness of an author or the willed verbal acts that eminate from it -- generate meaning.
As a consequence, the subject is dissolved into a series of systems, deprived of its role as a source of meaning, and thereby decentered.

 Structuralism
By comparing structuralism with molecular biology Titchner meant that we can study psychology and the unconscious the way a physiologist can study the brain by breaking it down into its part and studying them.
Titchner said to study the brain and the unconscious we should break it into its structural elements.

 semiotics
In structuralism, the subject is decentred, in other words the central focus on the individual in much social analysis is replaced by focus on the structures, of which the individual is just another element (see the section on the decentred self).
Ultimately, since in structuralism subject and structure are closely intertwined, an attack on structure must also entail an attack on the notion of the subject.
More serious, though perhaps more academic, is the charge that semiotics was on a hiding to nothing in the first place, since structuralism and post-structuralism derive from a fundamental misunderstanding of the relationship between the specialized study of linguistics and the more general philosophical conclusions which could (or could not) legitimately be drawn from it.

 Post Modern
Although structuralism was never formulated as a philosophical theory in its own right, its implicit theoretical basis was a kind of Cartesianism, but without the emphasis on subjectivity.
By the 1950s structuralism has been adapted in anthropology (Levi-Strauss), psychoanalysis (Lacan) and literary theory (Barthes), and there were hopes that it could provide the framework for rigorous accounts in all areas of the human sciences.
Post-structuralism is a late-twentieth-century development in philosophy and literary theory, particularly associated with the work of Jacques Derrida and his followers.

Godard, in his way, is pushing the idea that structuralism as a philosophical and critical ideal is mechanical — something that the structuralists, no doubt, would have no trouble with — further, Godard suggests that the entire way of looking at language and reality is one that saps all individuality and romance from people.
It is a parable of a technocracy, a clarification of the weakness of structuralism (his own preferred reality template explicating, in part, the film’s melancholy), and a mad mixture of genres that, despite Godard, is astonishing and visually arresting.

 Post-Structuralism As Subculture
I would suggest that the culture of radical post- structuralism is driven by a tension between surface glitter and play and a deeper level not just of boredom but of despair: about the possibility of radical social change and also about the possibility of intellectual work having any social impact.
I think something similar could be said for post- structuralism: a method that is geared to exposing all claims to truth or value does not tell us how current systems evolved, what would be better, or how we might get there.
Probably the majority of intellectuals who adhere to post-structuralism have progressive sympathies -- but post- structuralism itself does not provide a basis for a political perspective, by which I mean a vision of a better society, and some idea of how to get there.

He then studied the relationships within as well as between vertically aligned columns, in an attempt to understand scientifically, through ratios and proportions, those thoughts and processes that humankind has shared, both at one particular time and across time.
Following Saussure, Lévi-Strauss, an anthropologist, studied hundreds of myths, breaking them into their smallest meaningful units, which he called "mythemes." Removing each from its diachronic relations with other mythemes in a single myth (such as the myth of Oedipus and his mother), he vertically aligned those mythemes that he found to be homologous (structurally correspondent).

 Propositions for the Deconstruction of Cine-Structuralism
For avant-garde film practice, "structuralism" has inserted itself as a kind of guarantor of meaning' — a 'ghost in the machine/apparatus' — with the result that film practice itself is seen as a confluence of both psycho-linguistic-socio-political formations (all operating under the solemn gaze of the analyst!) and 'textual' determinations.
Although the contest amongst-between-or-against structuralism in cinema has been displaced from the center of academic discourse in favor of what is termed "post-structuralism", the notion that this current film-critical discourse represents a significant rupture with structuralism is highly problematic in my mind.
