Structuralism is a theoretical approach in various disciplines that considers social, cultural, literary, and psychological phenomena as complex systems of interconnected elements. In its broadest sense, structuralism analyzes the underlying structures in language, literature, and culture that shape people's experiences and understanding of the world. It provides a framework for understanding how meaning is created through structural relationships and emphasizes the importance of analyzing the underlying structures that govern human behavior and thought. The approach emerged from the works of linguist Ferdinand de Saussure and was applied in fields such as anthropology, psychology, and literary theory.
