Determination and Infinity (original) (raw)

This research paper enquires the critical nature of the term ‘Structures of Feeling’ given by the famous cultural-critic Raymond Williams. Through the conceptualization of temporaryessence as against the lived experience and practical-consciousness, Williams has dialogued with boththe modernist attitude of fixing meaning and reality, and the eternal delay of infinite meanings. This term, in nutshell, provides the crux of his whole theoretical work. Hence, the analysis of this term enables the reader to recognize, to some extent, the theoretical stance he bears in the world of theory and philosophy, that is the middle path between Marxism and Poststructural/Postmodern theories.
