Culler, ''Structuralism and Literature'' (Optional)

I've dropped this article from the syllabus. (It's a good article, but something had to go in order to make room for the "Life is a Dream" readings.)

Didn't get this memo on time!

"If one wished to distinguish between structuralism and semiology (and the reasons for the distinction are historical rather than logical), one could do so in these terms: structuralism studies the structures or systems of relations by which cultural objects are defined and distinguished from one another; semiology studies cultural objects as signs that carry meanings" (Culler 289).

You folks are free to include this in your blog portfolio as something above and beyond my expectations.
