Danilyn Rutherford: Structuralism and Materialism

source: WGSS OSU  2014年12月16日
The Ohio State University, Department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies presents:
Professor Danilyn Rutherford, Department of Anthropology, University of California-Santa Cruz
Structuralism and Materialism
How does structuralism matter? How does it still matter at this centenary, well past its heyday in anthropology and the other so-called “sciences of man?” In this talk, I go out on a limb and offer a forceful and somewhat perverse response to this question. Certain premises associated with structuralism are at the heart of some of the most interesting new work in anthropology and related fields. I take as my starting point Claude Lévi-Strauss’s Elementary Structures of Kinship (1969) with a focus on moments where Lévi-Strauss finds himself compelled to tell us how kinship begins. I compare how Lévi-Strauss and more recent writers on kinship, sociality, and normativity treat what I call the matter of residence, the matter of relation, and the matter of difference. One part memoir, one part self-interested map of the lay of the land, my talk ends with some autoethnographic reflections on how the study of disability can contribute to debates over the nature of sign use and sociality. “There is nothing outside of language.” Structuralism might want to tell itself this, but it can’t avoid admitting awkward intruders of the sort I consider. These awkward intruders can lead us to a way of thinking about reality as both material and relational – material because relational through and through.

Professor Danilyn Rutherford (Anthropology, UC Santa Cruz) is a past president of the Society for Cultural Anthropology and former fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. She is the author of Laughing at Leviathan: Sovereignty and Audience in West Papua (U Chicago Press) and Raiding the Land of Foreigners: The Limits of the Nation on the Indonesian Frontier (Princeton UP). Her articles have appeared in Cultural Anthropology, Public Culture, American Ethnologist, and Comparative Studies in Society and History.

ENG 378 (Fall 2013): Aspects of Postmodernism
01/07/2014: These video lectures supplemented my Fall 2013 course at the University of Rhode Island, ENG 378: Aspects of Postmodernism. During the semester we read six "postmodern" novels as well as chapters from Jacques Derrida's /Of Grammatology/. Because Derrida's work was a more daunting reading task than our novels, I decided to supplement our readings and discussions with these lectures in order to give students (especially those unfamiliar with continental philosophy or literary theory) a few in-roads to an otherwise overwhelming book.

The six novels we also studied were:
1). B.S. Johnson's /Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry/
2). Paula Fox's /Desperate Characters/
3). Carole Maso's /The Art Lover/
4). David Mitchell's /Cloud Atlas/
5). China Miéville's /The City & The City/
6). Sheila Heti's /How Should a Person Be?/

Structuralism, Saussurian Linguistics and Literary Study by Benjamin Hagen

source: Benjamin Hagen     2014年2月17日
This set of video lectures supplements my Spring 2014 section of ENG 201: Principles of Literary Study. This third set of lectures covers "Structuralism" and the relation between Saussurian linguistics (the foundation of structuralism as an intellectual movement) and the study of literature.

1. Structuralism and Saussure--This specific installment covers Saussure's basic concepts and insights into the study of language. I cover his distinctions between "langue" and "parole," "synchronic" and "diachronic" investigation, as well as his influential anatomy of "the sign."

2. Structuralist Criticism and Poetics--This specific installment covers Jonathan Culler's and Robert Dale Parker's accounts of the implications and consequences of structural linguistics for literary study.

3. Formalism, Structuralism, and 3 Articles on Mrs. Dalloway--This last installment covers the three articles we read on Virginia Woolf's /Mrs. Dalloway/, using the competing positions of an ideal New Critic and an ideal Structuralist as a context for evaluating how the scholars go about approaching the novel.

Semiotics and Structuralism (by Paul Fry at Yale University)

source: YaleCourses     2009年9月1日
Introduction to Theory of Literature (ENGL 300)
In this lecture, Professor Paul Fry explores the semiotics movement through the work of its founding theorist, Ferdinand de Saussure. The relationship of semiotics to hermeneutics, New Criticism, and Russian formalism is considered. Key semiotic binaries--such as langue and parole, signifier and signified, and synchrony and diachrony--are explored. Considerable time is spent applying semiotics theory to the example of a "red light" in a variety of semiotic contexts.
00:00 - Chapter 1. What is Semiology?
08:34 - Chapter 2. "Langue" and "Parole," "Signified" and "Signifier"
27:08 - Chapter 3. Positive and Negative Knowledge: Arbitrary and Differential
33:11 - Chapter 4. Example: the Red Stoplight
45:55 - Chapter 5. Synchrony and Diachrony
