Example text

Any fonn of social theory which merges the de-centring of the subject, as a philosophical tenet, with a propadeutic of the end of the individual as either a desirable or inevitable movement of contemporary social change, becomes subject to the charge of ideology that critics are so fond of levelling against structuralism. It is useful here to contrast Foucault with Adorno and Horkheimer. The end of the individual, perhaps, signals the final passing of the age of bourgeois liberalism: not however as a fruitful historical transition, but rather as swamped by a spreading totalitarianism.

But history here is still understood as a succession of synchronic systems; diachrony and synchrony are not reconciled, nor is the separation of synchrony from diachrony seriously undermined. 42 Derrida's cridque of the sign The influence of Levi-Strauss over the development of semiotics in the 1950s and 1960s was considerable, however critical some of the leading figures in that field may have been of his work in certain respects. Structures were usually in that period treated as given codes, examined within closed and discrete systems.

But, as Culler shows, no such corroboration can be forthcoming. The approach of the linguist draws upon the recursive properties of language as part of the process, and as the means whereby, these properties are made available for study. The linguist draws upon his or her own competence, or that of others, as a speaker of a particular language, in both devising and validating characterisations of it. 39 The study of myth cannot draw recursively on its object in this way; Uvi-Strauss's 'spiralling' procedure is not a substitute for it - although it is the closest that he comes to acknowledging the hermeneutic circle.
