romanetërësore

Romanetërësore is a method of analysis that focuses on the examination of structures, conventions, and rhetoric used in literary texts. This approach was developed in the 1970s by Josué V. Harari, an Argentine literary critic and scholar. The core idea behind romanetërësore is to study the illocutionary power of texts, meaning the way they shape meaning through their formal properties.

Proponents of romanetërësore argue that literary texts can be seen as a complex network of sentences, each with its own distinct characteristics and functions. By analyzing these sentences, scholars can identify and map the patterns of signification used in the text, shedding light on the ways in which meaning is produced.

The theoretical framework of romanetërësore draws on various influences, including structuralism, semiotics, and grammatical analysis. This method has been applied to a variety of literary genres, including fiction, poetry, and drama. It has also been used to study non-literary forms, such as film and televised productions.

Critiques of romanetërësore often focus on its potential detachment from the cultural and historical contexts of the texts under study. Some argue that by emphasizing the structures and conventions of literary language, romanetërësore often dismisses the role of context and the author's intention. However, supporters of the method argue that this distance between the critic and the text is a necessary tool for unearthing new perspectives and meanings.

Despite these debates, romanetërësore has gained a significant following among scholars and literary critics working in various languages and geographical regions. Its most prominent applications include Latin American literature, French literature of the 20th century, and, literature of other Spanish language countries.
