Thinking activity :Structuralism

Hello viewers,

 

   This blog is about the structuralism. This blog is part of our thinking activity given by Dr Dilip Barad sir.

                  

When we talk about the structuralism we should know first that what is structuralism?

    Structuralism is a method of interpreting and analysing such things as language, literature, and society, which focuses on contrasting ideas or elements of structure and attempts to show how they relate to the whole structure.It study of culture. Structuralism is study of literary text, film and any advertizement.

    This structuralism is explained by the Genett.He give the concept of narratology. In this narratology there he gives the five kinds of steps to get the deep meaning. To go to its skeleton. 

1. Order
2. Frequency
3. Duration
4. Voice
5. Mood

 1. Order:   

  

       Order talks about the event how they happen in  any story and in plot.
Ex,  In the movie when we see  Drishyam; We see that order of the Events are in form of C, A, B. That murderer is caught first and then We found murder is happen and at last cause of murder is known.

We also see this events form in the movie Tarzan the wonder car.

2. Frequenc:

     The separation between event and it's narration allows several possibilities.

  1. Event occur Once and be narrated Once.

 2. Events occurs in once and be narrated  in times.

 3. Events occurs in times and be narrated once.

 4.Event occurs in times and be narrated in times.

Ex.   Dialogue by Hamlet :To be or not to be.. 

                     Oliver Twist : I want some more, sir.

We can also say that some news of accident and any other also which happen once but narrated so many times.

 3. Duration : 

    

  The separation between an event and it's narration means there is discourse time and narrtive time.
      Ex:  when we watch movie Jashne Ishq Ka   in the beginning we see that the heros are shown as child and time and narrtive time is changing they became young. That time leap we can find in the movie Mujse shadi karogi ? T. V.  Serial like Utaran, Also in  Ye rishta kya kehlata hai?  Niara and naksh became young. 

4. Voice: 

 Voice is concerned with who narrate and from where. 

Narration is of two type one is Intra diegetic and Extra diegetic. 

Intra diegetic means story is narrated from the inside the text. 

Ex: movie Chichore is intera diegetic. Because one of the character himself narrated the story.

 Extra diegetic narration, we  can see that the person who look story is not the characters in movie and serial. In the  movie Jodha Akbar that movie narrated by Amitabh bachchan and also  the serial narrated by Om puri.  

In voice We also talk about who narrated story if person who narrated story than it become Hetero diegetic.
    Ex :  when we see the movie Kabul We see that the the hero himself narrated story of movie. We also find one more example of intra dietetic Chennai express. This movie narrated by Shah Rukh Khan and he also in a lead role in this movie. 

5. Mood : 

       Genette said narrative mood is dependent on the 'distance' and 'perspective' of the narrator, and like music, narrative mood has predominant patterns. It is related to voice.
    Ex:  when we look at the Mahabharata serial   samay is narrator.

                  

This picture came with dialogue that में समय हु। ( I'm time) This picture shows  the narrative things we can't say a human, because time is narrator but not a human. 

So this how we can find  some example of movie and serial.
