New Criticism vs Structuralism

[Anonymous No.9330162]

I have an exam tomorrow and I've made a list about the differences between New Criticism and Structuralism.

I don't know if I've done anything wrong or if I should add something, I hope you contribute.

>nc focuses only on the text, str looks at the conventions of a literary genre and universal narrative structure, intertextual connections.
>nc says literature should be disinterested, str says it cannot be
>nc says even one word is important in the text, but str introduces horizontal(readerly) reading and you skip some words and ignore the language
>nc is microcosmic, str is macrocosmic
>nc is self-referential, meaning only the text is important, str says external connections are also important
>nc says paraphrasing is heresy, but it's not important for str because str focuses only on the structure
>nc says form and content are important
>nc studies figures of speech and so on, str studies opposites and how they interplay in the text
>nc looks at ironies, metaphors... within a work, str digs deeper to look at less abstract ideas like plot structures.(str kind of tries to look at the text in scientific ways)
>nc is limited because the only source is the text, but str is more relax because it can use other sources
>in str, Propp systematizes 31 functions that can be seen in every text
>nc seeks to find meaning through looking at tensions and ambiguity while Structuralists have no need to find meaning within a text.
>nc looks at what the text means, str looks at how it means what it means.
>nc makes close-reading “scrutiny”, the structure and intertextuality are important for str

Hm. A few over genralisations. Structualism is also concerned with universal narraitives and themes like the heroes journey or "coming of age"

Sorry wasnt clear. You gotta give examples of universal narratives otherwise your being too general

That doesn't seem right.

I guess the hero issue and universal narratives are explained in Archetypal Criticism by Jung.
