  2. 2. Strukturalismin Historia I

    A concise intellectual history of the rise of structuralism in the postwar period, tracing how Saussurean linguistics, Lévi‑Strauss’s anthropology, Lacanian psychoanalysis and the work of literary critics and Marxist theorists converged into a transdisciplinary movement; the book reconstructs the networks, journals, institutions and polemics of the late 1940s–mid‑1960s and presents structuralism as a collective, institutional and methodological formation shaped by debates, ambitions and political entanglements rather than a single unified doctrine.
