Structuralism
The idea behind structuralism is that there are things we may not know but we can learn how they are related to each other.
-Claude Lévi-Strauss
I chose this quote by Strauss because structuralist believe that structures are the 'real things' that lie beneath the surface or the appearance of meaning and that is what Strauss is saying when he says there are things we dont know of but we can still learn our relation to them.
I chose this picture because if you were just looking at the outside of the android you would see its flesh and think it is human however if you cut it open you would see its electronic structure. The way structuralist believe meaning is hidden beneath the surface.
