Structuralism Theory

Structuralism

Structuralism is the offshoot of certain developments in linguistics and anthropology. Saussure's mode of the synchronic study of language was an attempt to formulate the grammar of a language from a study of language was an attempt to formulate the grammar of a language from a study of parole. Using the Saussurian linguistic model, Claude Levi Strauss examined the customs and conventions of some cultures with a view of arriving at the grammar of those cultures.

The best work in structuralist poetics has been done in the field of narrative. A literary critic applying a structuralist literary theory might say that authors of West side story did not write really anything new because their work has the same structure as Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Gerard Genette is a French literary theorist associated in particular with the Structuralist's movement and such figures as Roland Barthes and Claude Levi Strauss, from whom he adapted the concept of bricolage. Here, I apply his five concept which he used in Narrative Discourse: An essay in method:

1) Order

2) Frequency

3) Duration

4) Voice

5) Mood

1) Order

Story arrangements like simple a murder occurs event -1 then the circumstances of the murder are revealed to a detective event -2 and finally the murder is caught event -3. Generally Savdhan India Tv serial following these type of Chronological.

Some times it is different like first event is like discovery then flashback and resolution.

2) Frequency

The separation between an event and its narration allows several possibilities.

An event can be occured once and be narrated once.

An event can be ocuured once and be narrated many times. For example: serial Tarak Mehta ka Ooltah Chasmah. In this serial the event was happened once but narrated many times.

3) Duration

There are the two main elements of duration.

First is ten years passed but a short narrative time it mean they narrated in few seconds. For examplel;

Tv serial 'Sath Nibhana Sathiya' and 'Bedai". In these serials narrated many times left few years.

Second is relatively short discourse time but it is describe such long time.

For example; movie 'NH 10' , and 'A Wednesday'.

4) Voice

Voice is concerned with who narrates and from where. This can be split four ways:

Intera - diegetic Inside the text
Extra - diegetic Outside the text
Hetero - diegetic The narrator is not a character in the story. For example, Samay in Mahabharata.

Homo - diegetic The narrator is a character in the story. For example, PK movie. Anushka Sharma narrated story and she was also the character of the movie. And in 3 Ediots Movie, Farahn narrated story and he was the character of the movie.

5) Mood

Genette said narrative mood is dependent on the distance and perspective of the narrator, and like music, narrative mood has predominant patterns. It is related to voice.

Thus, Genette concept of Structuralism is different from other and his concept is most f including all narrative techniques.

The Alchemist - book review

આ ક્વોરનટાઇન વેકેશન મા જો કઈ આત્મસંતોષ મળે એવુ વાંચન કયુઁ હોય તો એ છે The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. આજ સુધી માત્ર મેં Paulo Coelho ની વાતો જ સાંભળેલી હતી પરંતુ આજે સ્વયં વાંચીને તેને અનુભવ્યું પણ. The Alchemist નવલક્થા એ સૌથી શ્રેષ્ઠ નવલક્થા માની એક નવલ કથા છે. જેનું 67 ભાષા મા અનુવાદ થયેલું છે અને 10 કરોડ થી પણ વધારે પ્રતો નું વેચાણ થયેલું છે. નવલ કથા ના ફ્રન્ટ પેજ પર એક ખૂબ સરસ વાકય લખ્યું છે : "જયારે આપણે કંઈક મેળવવાની ઈચ્છા મન થી કરીએ છીએ ત્યારે દુનિયા ની સમગ્ર શક્તિ આપણી મદદે આવે છે ". આ નવલક્થા મા ઘણા સંઘર્ષ બતાવા મા આવ્યા છે જે અમુક લોકો વચ્ચે ના પણ હતા અને પોતાની જાત સાથે ના પણ હતા. પોતાના હૃદય એટલે કે મન ને કેવી રીતે કાબુમાં લેવું એની વાત છે. ગુજરાતી કેહવત છે કે :"મન હોય તો માળવે જવાય " એમજ જો મન થી મક્કમ હોય તો કોઈ પણ કામ સફળતા પૂર્વક પૂર્ણ કરી શકાય. અને ધ્યેય ની પ્રાપ્તિ કરી શકાય. અને આ વાત ને ખૂબ જ સારી રીતે બતાવામાં આવિ છે આ નવલક્થા મા. આધ્યાત્મિકતા ની ઝલક દેખાય આવે છે અને સાથે સાથે દ્રઢ શ્રદ્ધા અને શુકનો ની પણ વાતો કરવામાં આવિ છે....
