章节摘录

Structuralism is a way of thinking that works to find the fundamen-tal basic units or elements of which anything is made. Structuralismtakes its impetus from Aristotelian science, and more specificallyfrom the developments in chemistry and physics in the nineteenthcentury that established that all matter was made of molecules, andthat all molecules were made of atoms. While we now know thatatoms themselves consist of many different kinds of subatomicparticles, the atom is still thought of as the basic building blockcommon to all forms of matter - everything in the universe is madeof atoms. A structuralist analysis of a pencil, for instance, mightlook at how certain kinds of atoms combine in certain patternsaccording to certain rules to make the wood and graphite cylinderwe write with.Structuralism appears in a variety of disciplines or fields, includ-ing anthropology, linguistics, mathematics, and literary and culturalcriticism. In any field, a structuralist is interested in finding the basicelements - the units - that make up any system, and in discoveringthe rules that govern how those units can be combined. And that'sall. A structuralist analysis is not concerned with anything beyondthe interrelationship of units and rules.How does this work for literature？ A structuralist view of a liter-ary text would start by asking what are the most basic units, the'atoms,' of a text. Well, a literary text, like any other kind of writtentext, is made of language, so a structuralist analysis of literaturewould start with a structural examination of language itself.
