Structuralism

Scope note

Theory or method applicable in many fields in which interrelations of constituent elements (as of a work of literature, an activity, or an approach) are regarded as more significant than the elements in isolation; sometimes applied to all human activity and its products, such that even thought itself is seen as constructed and not natural.
