Abstract:

Despite of Postmodernist Criticism appears as reader centered, it is essentially Structuralist. At the development of “Postmodernist Criticism” the thoughts of “Saussure's-semiotics” and “Derrida's-deconstruction” are arbiter. Saussure entitles “sign” the combination of sounds or symbols that provides perceiving concepts. He says “signifiant” to the string of audio, text and symbols; “signifié” to the meanings and notions. However Derrida introduces concept named “differance” for draw intention to meaning ties of indicators. He also mentions contrast and dependence of “logocentrisme” and “phonocentrisme”. Researcher Structural Postmodernist Criticism which cares to the differences develops its method as stabile hesitations. Postmodernist method pursues hesitations in the text when it wants to mean deep meanings of literary text on the other hand it want to establish new doubts with its critical discourses. It wants to deconstruct the logic center of text which participated its meaning world however it reconstructs the text around the new logic center by a literary and critical discourse. Postmodernist Structural Criticism tries in general to unify in its method text-centered, writer-centered, reader-centered and sociologic criticism that they are four main trends of criticism. That method treats the text collaterally in two steps of criticism. In this method the text are discussed at first stage as “signifiant” and “signifié” at second stage. Critic behaves text and writer-centered at first phase, reader and social environment-centered at second phase. In the first step he analyzes and deconstructs the text at the second reaches to synthesis and re-configures the text. This type of criticism shows features of anti-article. However the critic attitudes ironically in its language and style. It wants to spread the pleasure of criticism to its readers.
