How did Todorov use structuralism in his analysis?
Structuralism provided me with a rigorous method for uncovering the underlying, often unconscious, systems that shape human culture and thought. By analyzing language, literature, and myths as complex networks of signs and relationships, I aimed to reveal the fundamental structures of meaning. This approach allowed me to move beyond surface-level interpretations and understand how shared assumptions and conventions, rather than individual genius, often organize our experiences and perceptions.
