Formalism
Russian formalism was a structuralist, anti-realist aesthetic doctrine whose proponents included Victor Shklovsky (see Denaturalization). The Prague school linguists were also structural formalists. Formalism represented a linguistic focus on literary uses of language. As the name suggests, the primary focus of the formalists was on form, structure, technique or medium rather than on content. They saw literary language as language 'made strange' and their model was poetry rather than prose.
