Strutturalismo

Strutturalismo, or structuralism, is an analytical approach that examines the underlying structures shaping various aspects of culture, language, and society. Instead of focusing solely on individual elements, it seeks to understand how these elements relate within a system, creating meaning through their connections and opposed counterparts. For example, in language, structuralism looks at how words derive meaning from their difference from other words. This approach helps reveal the hidden frameworks that influence human behavior, thought, and cultural practices, emphasizing that meaning is often generated by relationships within a structured system rather than by isolated components.
