Thinking activity on :
Being a structuralist critic, how would you analyse literary text or TV serial or Film? you can select any Image or TV serial or film or literary text or advertisement. Apply structuralist method.
Before I start my thinking activity let me tell about Structuralism.
"Structuralism is an approach to Analyzing the narrative material by examining the underlying invariant Structure." Structuralism is a theory focused upon the structure of human expression. Structuralism as a form of thought emerged from a reaction against the humanism of Jean-Pauk Sartre's existentialism. Sartre assailed the idea of structure. Structuralism emerged in the 1960s and it was based on the work of Ferdinand de Saussure. Saussure's work in linguistics was oriented to understanding the structure underlying language and all form of human sing systems. so that Structuralism is associated with the linguistic turn.
Gerard Genette and Structuralism criticism :
Genette writes at the outset in his eassy 'Structuralism and Literary Criticism' that method developed for study of one discipline could be satisfactorily applied to the study of other discipline as well. He was french literary theorist. He adopted the concept of 'Bricolage'. His major work is the multi-part Figures series of which Narrative Discourse is a section.
Important Concepts in Genette's narratology with Examples :
This outline of his narratology is derived from Narrative Discourse : An Essay in Method.
1. Order :
some stories are band on some particular order that how events are happen and how it went to the end . particularly in Suspense movies or Mystery Movies we can find some orders. For Example In the Movie "Kahaani" , one Pregnant woman's search for her missing husband takes her from London to Kalkata, but when she ask someone , everyone denies that they ever met him.
2. Frequency :
The separation between an event and its narratin allows several possibilities.
3. Duration :
The separation between an event and its narration means that is discourse time and narration time. In many Movies or Novels we can find Duration.
4. Voice :
Voice is concerned with who narrates and from where . In some Movies or in also in the novel or play we can find this Narratology .
5. Mood :
Mood is depend on the 'distance' and 'perspective' of the narrator. It is related with Voice.Distance of Narrator change with narrated speech , transposed speech and reported speech. Perspective of the narrator is called Focalization. Narratives can be Non-Focalized .
