Abstract

This essay presents a broad overview of Czech structuralism as developed by the Prague School, taking as reference the work of one of its main members: Jan Mukařovský. The study also discusses the problem of international neglect the with regard to the recognition of the School's work, particularly by French intellectuals. In the correlation of Mukařovský's work with more recent (literary) theories, it is considered, in general lines, among others, important aspects of New Criticism, Poststructuralism and Deconstruction.
