Abstract
Distinct from the traditional text analysis whereby little or no attention is paid to
factors controlling the emergence and being of a text and their possible input, and
studying certain recognised authors and recognised works, the systemic approach
conceived by Youri Tynjanov, devised by ltamar Even-Zohar and simplified by
Jose Lambert, seeks to recognise the main structures of literary systems and
structures in their evolution by taking into cognizance literary phenomena and
their general relationships with other literary and artistic systems. This hypothesis
replaces the usual collection and analysis of data on the basis of their material
substance with a functional approach that is based on the analysis of relations.
Literary texts are viewed against the total background of the author and the total
circumstances which lead to and controlled their production
