What is studied in structuralism?

Structuralism was an intellectual movement that contributed to the scientific revolution of philosophy and the humanities. It was inaugurated in the twentieth century by linguist theorist Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913).

It has reflections on anthropological, linguistic, social, mathematical thinking, psychology, psychoanalysis and literary theory.

The genesis of structuralism holds that human activity and all that comes from it is constructed. The current considers that not even thought and perception are natural.

Human activity in structuralism is loaded with meaning as the consequence of the language system we operate.

This understanding results from the fact that thought derives from semiotics or semiology, of which structuralism is a method of study.
