Structuralism Lite : But not easy.

This is an excellent introduction into Structuralism and Semiotics. It is more detailed than a Structuralism comic book, but still presents the information in a clear and concise manner. The bibliography and recommended reading list alone are worth the price of the book.The material is arranged chronologically, beginning with Saussure and Levi-Strauss, and concluding with the "New" new criticism.After reading Hawkes, I had a much clearer understanding about the Structuralism/Linguistics connection. Also the section on Barthes was quite enlightening.
