	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, then, would appear to be a refuge for all immanent criticism against the danger of fragmentation that threatens thematic analysis: the means of reconstituting the unit of a work, its principle of coherence...
		The 'total structure' which it identified as the enemy was an historically particular one: the armed, repressive state of late monopoly capitalism, and the Stalinist politics which pretended to confront it but were deeply complicit with its rule.

	Structuralism

		Structuralism appeared in academic psychology for the first time in the 19th century and then reappeared in the second half of the 20th century, when it grew to become one of the most popular approaches in the academic fields that are concerned with analyzing language, culture, and society.
		In literary theory structuralism is an approach to analysing the narrative material by examining the underlying invariant structure.

		Their formal structure is not different from that ascertained in Lévi-Strauss's binary opposition that constitutes the nucleus of his structural anthropology, or from Saussure's structural theory of language (although Saussure did not use the word structure), or from Barthes' structural semiology, itself a foundation for a universal theory of culture.
		Structure as relation among relata – a subject that brings to mind the signans and signatum of the Stoics and the signifiant and signifier of Saussure – was pursued in the establishment of structural semantics by Greimas.
		Structuralism almost figured out that representations are not solely containers of information or knowledge about other things or events; they are completed through our participation in the interpretation of those representations and shared in successive acts of communication.

		Structuralism, as a distinctive methodological theory in science, humanities and philosophy, began to develop in the Czech region in the mid-20s of this century.
		The structurally oriented activity of the Prague Linguistic Circle was terminated at the end of 1948; from the beginning of the 50s Structuralism was unambiguously rejected by the official Stalinist ideology, and Mukaovský disclaimed Structuralism in 1951.
		But, as he comprehended the structure of a work of art statically and in isolation, he did not take into consideration either the dynamics of the total literary process or the changes of social structure in the various periods of its reception.

		The concepts of Antonin Sychra (1918-1969) as a specialist in the aesthetics of music and disciple of Jan Mukarovsky (founder of the Prague School of Structuralism) represent in the field of musicology a Marxist functionalistic trend, that ended up with neopositivistic methods of statistical analysis of aesthetic forms, departing from certain theories of communication.
		From a historical point of view, this paper is one of the most important attempts to criticize the historical and philological main orientation that characterized the research of his time.
		In this paper a method is introduced for a semantic analysis of structures departing from the unity between speech and music as well as from the specific ways of interpretation used by the people.

		The Formalist schools of linguistics have shed much light on the detailed texture of poems, but their theories remain contentious, generally lacking field studies or laboratory evidence.
		Many schools of poetry would be extinguished by such a conception, but the Russian Futurists were iconoclastic and lived dangerously.
		Included were studies of sentence structures, consonantal arrangements, phrasal melody, syntax, rhyme, sound with sense — all of them drawing closer to linguistics.

	Alan Sikes's Response to Ken Cerniglia
		I must confess from the outset that I know very little about the Prague School, so my comments will be limited to my impression of Ken’s article supplemented by references from the Johns Hopkins online encyclopedia of literary criticism.
		That said, the aspect of Prague School structuralism that interests me most is the historical specificity of its aims and goals, particularly as Ken is employing it in his work.
		To be sure, Diderot on the one hand and the Prague School formulae on the other are involved in the pursuit of different aims; Diderot is trying to describe the qualities of excellent acting, while the formulae attempt to establish the social relation between actor, spectator, and stage production.

	Pictorial semiotics
		Much of the importance of the Quebec schools resides in its explicit criticism of the Greimasian approach, most clearly spelled out by Marie Carani, who is also the author of important studies concerned with pictorial abstraction and perspective, respectively (Carani 1987; 1988).
		As compared to the binary opposition, which is the regulatory principle of the Greimas school approach, as well as to the norm and its deviations, which determines the conceptual economy of Groupe µ rhetoric, the Quebec school offers a much richer tool-kit of conceptual paraphernalia, more obviously adapted to the analysis of visual phenomena.
		Contrary to, most notably the Greimas school, he thus shuns the autonomy postulate of semiotics, admitting that pictorial semiotics has a lot to learn from psychology and other sciences, while claiming that their results must be inserted into a specifically semiotic problematics evolved from the history of this science.
