If we strip down a structure into
pieces, can we understand the
whole ideas/or the idea that
governs the structure? Is there Text
any governing idea leading each
part into a whole? If it is, where
does it come from? Does it come
from the related signification of
each parts or form somewhere

8. Lit Text
8
A mode of (re)presenting “reality”.
Not simply mirroring as a passive mirror reflecting reality.
It is a kind of projector, projecting certain reality through language (the sign
system).
It’s not only about the image or the close resemblance to reality but the creation
of reality itself.
Seemingly, individual point of view/perception. In a wider context, it is a
product of social construction.
Consider how the writer is influenced by his/her social life. This also applies
to the reader.
Considering this, Lit text is a kind of construction with its constructiveness
(constructed and constructing) feature. Meaning that lit text relates to a
mode of production; It is being produced (with certain flavor to
satisfy/create certain flavor) to be consumed.
Applying this to our (re)reading process means that we read/interpret this
construction.

9. Applying to lit-text
9
How does certain text, mainly lit,
present/represent the ideological construction?
How does certain technique used to
present/represent this?
The object of your analysis is the lit-text. You
approach this text by applying certain
interpretation/reading. When you apply the critical
theory in your analysis, it means that you’re trying
to reveal (make visible the invisible) “the
construction” of the text related to the world,
another text, reader, or the writer.

Editor's Notes
If we strip down a structure into pieces, can we understand the whole ideas/or the idea that governs the structure? Is there any governing idea leading each part into a whole? If it is, where does it come from? Does it come from the related signification of each parts or form somewhere else outside the parts?
Since our mind is constructed by language, and the way we perceive things/reality is determined by our understanding about language, then lit text will also present reality in its own version.
