Breaking boundary between genetic structuralism and postmodernism

This paper aims at taking the role on the discussion about the position of genetic structuralism which is always misunderstood as the branch of objective criticism. This kind of opinion puts genetic structuralism in a strict position by regarding that genetic structuralism is an opposite side of postmodernism since the postmodernism came from the post-structural tradition. The rejection taken by post-structuralism toward structuralism made those who put genetic structuralism on the side of pure structuralism think that genetic structuralism couldn't be put side by side with postmodernism. infact, genetic structuralism is the revision of structuralism itself. Genetic structuralism is the concept contains dialectical concept among stylistic, Marxism, even the expressive criticism in the way that all the concept are used in revision. Genetic structuralism itself required the philosophy concept in viewing the worldviewof literary work, for the worldview concept is consideredtobe the way that literary work gives the alternative structure to the society. One of this alternative structures that have its root in philosophy is postmodernism. For this reason, postmodernism could take a position to be a companion concept of genetic structuralism. Goldmann himself has analyzed the novels that tobe the part of postmodernism. Kafka, Camus and Robb Grillet's work later is considered to be a postmodernist fiction by Brian McHall. This research done by Goldmann is the key factor of the boundary-breaking between postmodernism and genetic structuralism.
