Structuralism

 I have read Dilip Barad sir's  blog as a part of sem 2 study , and after this now I will try to analyze T.V. serial or advertisement through structuralist approach.

Structuralist critics like Ferdinand Saussure, Gerald Genette , Roland Barthes, Claude Levi-Strauss etc ., gave their valuable contribution in this approach. Structuralist critics founds basic common structure in every work. He says that skeleton is the structure and it is same every where. Similarly literature has a basic structure which we found common every where.

Here as per instruction rather than writing about structuralism I would  try to analyze like structuralist critic.

For example every literary text has a Beginning, Middle ( Climax) and End.

Movie like P.K. RANGRASIA, OH MY GOD  has a same structure- anti religion or challenges this ideas. If we take structuralist approach then OMG IS better than PK. Structure of both is same.

For example T.V. serial  CID  helps us to understand NARRATOLOGY.  Structure is same for example murder occurs, detection and murderer found by detective. This structure is same in every episode since 17 years. But they make changes in presenting it.

Most of hindi movies  or literature are same. For example  boy+ girl love each other but family is against it or vice versa family ready to marriage but children do not like each other.

We also find binary opposition every where. Good-evil, male-female, god- Satan, white-black.

This and other many common things are found everywhere. This are the few examples .

Thank you
