Historic Structures: The Prague School Project, 1928–1946: University of Texas Press Slavic Series

Autor F.W. Galan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 1985
In this first book-length study of Czech structuralism and semiotics in English, F. W. Galan explores one of the most important intellectual currents of the twentieth century, filling the gap between what has been written of the Russian formalism of the twenties and the French structuralism of the sixties and seventies. He records the evolution within the Prague Linguistic Circle of those theories which concern literature's change in time and the place of literature in society. In doing so, he reveals how the work of the Prague Linguistic Circle in the years 1928 to 1946 vindicate structuralism against its critics' charges that the structuralist approach—in linguistics, literary theory, film studies, and related fields—is inherently unhistorical. Overcoming this apparent methodological impasse was the main challenge confronted by the scholars of the Prague School–Roman Jakobson and Jan Mukarovsky, in particular.

Recenzii

... continually instructive and illuminating, [Galan] reveals the extraordinary range and vitality of the [Prague School's] ideas, whose influence is only now being fully realized.

Those who do not read [this book] will do themselves a disservice . . . I cannot recommend it too highly.
