| | Structuralist Primer |
 | | The structuralist response to such an observation is sharp and strong and unquavering: The meaning of spoken expressions is irrelevant. | | | If you are to understand the structuralist perspective, you must understand that it is, at its core, a deeply psychological perspective which presumes that the human mind is specially gifted to discern the abstract in the concrete, the general in the specific, the unitary in the diverse, and the universal in the particular. | | | Their structuralist perspective does not prompt them to investigate the relationship of consciousness and unconsciousness in the mind. |

| | Structuralist Theory |
| | Structuralist criticism is less interested in interpreting what literary works mean than in explaining how they can mean what they mean; that is, in showing what implicit rules and conventions are operating in a given work to limit the possibilities of meanings in a text. | | | The Structuralist approach is an interesting and instructive approach, but as much as it discloses, it necessarily blinds the reader to what is ultimately the point of literature—it turns its back on meaning. | | | Thus, the core assumption of the Structuralist is that the human psyche itself is strictly patterned, and that, therefore, all human expression can be seen to embody those fundamental structures. |

Its specificity lies in the fact that language 'is a system of signs expressing ideas... | | | In opposition to the principle of immanence, characterizing the structuralist legacy since the beginning, Derrida's strategy is not aimed at the understanding of linguistic structure as a concrete totality but at the identification of the fundamental aporia which he deems to haunt the concept of totality itself. | | | Derrida's twisting of the externalist foundation of the structuralist legacy does not erase it but simply dislocates it by asking the question of the conditions of possibility of a structured whole in terms of its genealogical foundations. |

| | Structuralism |
| | Structuralist ontology implies that, even if a system emerges from interactions between individual units, it become a "coop" where individual units themselves have no or little free choice in setting their conduct. | | | Hay also shows that structuralist theories frequently use terms such as "globalisation", which detect phenomena as "processes without subjects", just for their tendency to avoid considering human or at least individual factors as playing an active role in the general social, economical, political development. | | | A political theory is structuralist when it recognizes scarce or no importance to states' agency, while considering their behaviour somehow determined by an environment which necessarily tends to its reproduction over time. |

| | Thus, whereas the structuralist dissolution of the subject proved untenable and was ultimately abandoned, it forced a rethinking of the kind of subjectivity that underwrote prestructuralist humanism (II: 324-63). | | | 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. | | | Lacan proved to be right: the protest movement sided with the structuralist critique of academic traditionalism and, in its dissatisfaction with received educational practices, reinforced the structuralist desire for scientific rigor (II: 128-30). |

| | Marxist Theory and Criticism: 2. Structuralist Marxism |
| | The deeper question that Althusser poses for contemporary Marxist thought is whether the concerns of the structuralists, who challenge the veracity of lived experience and the general empiricism of the human sciences, is compatible with Marxism's commitment to political criticism and practical social activity. | | | His dissatisfaction with Althusser raises as many theoretical problems as it hopes to settle, but he is certainly right in his claim that the writings of structuralist Marxists lack a certain expressive range, that the depth of the analysis always seems cramped in its articulation. | | | In fact, his work in the early 1990s on the ideology of the aesthetic indicates a return to such topics as affect, sense-experience, and the control of the human body and would seem to indicate a rejection of the whole direction of Althusserian thought. |

| | Pre-Structuralist and Structuralist Narratology |
| | The study of the narrative is a field which seems particularly appropriate for structuralist or semiotic approaches, as notions such as sequentiality, gradation, resolution, rhythm, suspense and so forth render it liable to a kind oflogical, “scientific” analysis. | | | Structuralist narratologists were not content anymore with the traditional notions of character, setting, events, and attempted to view them from a more exact and unifying perspective. | | | However, the influence of narratology beyond its structuralist heyday can hardly be overestimated at present, when some of its concepts can be found among the common working instruments of cultural studies, of feminist and postcolonial theories. |

| | I'll mostly be talking about Lévi-Strauss and Althusser, who are the best-known strictly structuralist theorists and can certainly be said to be critical in terms of their political positions and the implications of some of their work, if not always in terms of reflexivity. | | | Because this core concept, from which our description of society is generated, is a highly intellectual one, this is very likely to produce a form of philosophical idealism: a theory which treats the (social) world as generated from ideas, and in this case from a single idea. | | | Sometimes, this represents a pure positivism in terms of its research methods: the "social facts" are assumed to be out there, to be amenable to pure observation, and analysed on the model of natural science. |

| | At this regard, Barthes points out that structuralism is not a method, but rather an activity, which decentralizes the authority of the author --who is not anymore 'the' source of meaning-- and creates a 'literary space' where both the writer, the reader and the text itself construct the meaning of the object. | | | Put simply, a structuralist literary critic is more interested in the 'how' rather in the 'what' of literature. | | | The risk here is that literature, rather that being a means of expression of human ideas and emotions, becomes a mere exercise of formal linguistic elements. |

| | If in Riffaterre’s response there are revealed the interpretive limitations of the pure structuralist method, as it was used in a “happily positivistic” mood by Jakobson and Lévi-Strauss, other concepts and principles propounded by these early structuralists gained ground in the course of time and became widely spread tools in the analysis of poetry. | | | Anyhow it can be observed that in the studies of some later structuralists, such as Riffaterre, Culler, or Prince, communal conventions of interpretation superseded the individual reader’s analytical endeavors. | | | Later on another American critic, Stanley Fish, will take up this concept and move the structures of meaning entirely out of the text into the scope of the readers’ community. |
