Structuralism
1) "Provided is an overview of the analytical method known as structuralism. The first chapter discusses the three key components of the concept of a structure: the view of a system as a whole instead of so many parts; the study of the transformations in the system; and the fact that these transformations never lead beyond the system but always engender elements that belong to it and preserve its laws. Subsequent chapters illustrate this concept as it appears in mathematics and logic (group theory, general algebra); physics and biology (structural models of causality, homeostasis); psychology (the laws of Gestalt, the structure of intelligence); linguistics (synchronics, generative grammars); social sciences (analytic, global and anthropological structuralism); and philosophy (dialectic, epistemology)."(Jean Piget)
2) This quote explains and gives examples of what structuralism is and how it is defined. Piget articulates that parts within the structure never go beyond the structure, but instead acts as a part that makes the structure complete.Also, Piget states examples like how mathematics and logic are view individually but instead really belongs to the structure of-group theory and/or general algebra.
3) The photo shows an example of structuralism in a quite unusal way. It shows a man that has labeled everything with paint, and states," Now! That should clear up a few things around here!" This photo and text are quite humorous because though the man labeled everything and believes that this will clearly define and separate the items, they all belong to a structure in his life which act collaboratively to form one entity-his life. This photo also shows that language and how we identify things is not a separate as we believe. The dog can only be a dog, because it is not the tree. All of these items function together in a structure which allows us to understand their function.
