But my effort was not to substitute a literary, textual model of analysis for an eco nomic one. Rather it was directed toward the construction of the forms of social relations into which people enter rather than the messages transacted within those forms. The choice of ritual over text points to practices and practical reason against poststructuralism's reduction of society to discourses. As a style of analysis, ritual was more dependent on the microsociology of Erving Goffman than the literary analysis of the critic, new or otherwise.

In the United States, where everything on the left is minuscule, Stalinism and stalinism remain proportionately significant presences. They have led to ingrained discursive habits of the left.
The theories which came - the revival of formalism, the simpler kinds (includ ing Marxist kinds) - of structuralism tendered to regard the practical encounters of people in society as having relatively little effect on its general progress, since the main inherent forces of that society were deep in its structures and - in the simplest forms - the people who operated were mere agents.
