#structural criticism
- Antilogy — A contradiction between two ideas, statements, laws, or logical principles that are otherwise considered valid in isolation; a contradictory argumentation or figure of speech based on a direct conceptual opposition. In a structural and dialectical sense, it represents a form of antinomy or paradox historically used in classical rhetoric to deconstruct an opponent's discourse.
- Antimetalepsis — An extremely rare figure of speech, rhetorical device, or tropological structure consisting of the inversion, countering, or neutralization of a previous metalepsis; a reverse narrative or conceptual transgression that abruptly restores the structural boundary between the author's plane (extradiegetic) and the characters' plane (intradiegetic), canceling the illusion of direct interaction between the text's levels of reality.
- Anti-mythological — Opposing myths, mythical thinking, or traditional supernatural explanations; a theoretical or methodological orientation focused on demythologization, radical rationalism, and the factual analysis of reality. In a structural sense, it characterizes discourses or essays aimed at deconstructing fantastic or ideological narratives historically transmitted within a culture to reveal historical or scientific truth.
- Antinomy — An archaic form, rare variant, or linguistic alteration of antinomy, designating a profound contradiction between two laws, principles, ideas, or conclusions that are otherwise considered valid in isolation; structurally, it represents a logical paradox or an insurmountable conceptual opposition used in philosophical or dialectical argumentation.
