Product review: Great reading. It is certainly very illuminating to approach structuralism - the movement of synchronity & autonomous discourse - from a diachronic & contextual point of view. To me it was particularly interesting to understand the context in which Foucault emerged, how he used the structural paradigm brilliantly for his own purposes.If you add "Jacques Lacan" by Elisabeth Roudinesco, you get an excellent take on the (sometimes flamboyant, often narcissistic) characters and institutional battles of the French 20th century intellectual scene (minus Sartre, fortunately). This will help you a great deal when approaching particular fields or thinkers more systematically.
