Cloud Levi Strauss And the structural analysis of myth Study abstract

Abstract

Despite scientific austerity, that structucturalism is charaerisedby as a general procedure used by most human sciences more them to years ago, revolution of pioneers partly in clouded theoretical at the time. Most structure lets tried to overlook the structural procedure because they thought it was necessary to deal with other more realistic procedures.

This does not mean that structuralism was notdown-to-earth, yet it was far from practical reality and very close hypothetical theories. Several factors such as ambiguous approach, absence of meaning, extreme care in structure and building and artificial analysis in approaching texts made structural approach a tool for distinct procedure.

Despite all those failures, structural procedure remains one of the gravest scientific procedures that appeared in the second half of the twentieth century and pioneered by prominent researchers. One of the most advantages of the structural procedure is its extreme ability to analyze text however complex or ambiguous and the ability to show beauty with the touch an artist.

key words: Structuralism, methodology, language, interpretation, myth.
