Gérard Genette's "Structuralism and Literary Criticism" proposes analyzing literature as a system of relations rather than isolated works, bridging linguistic methodology with literary analysis. The essay defines the critic as a "bricoleur" who uses existing linguistic materials to identify the "grammar" or underlying structure of texts, shifting focus from content to system.
