One of the reasons why Louis I. Kahn is regarded as a pioneer of Post-Modern Architecture is that his works are interpreted as Structuralism and Post-structuralism in architecture. A. Lüchinger’s interpretation of Structuralism and M. Benedikt’s interpretation of Post-structuralism; especially Deconstruction Theory, in Kahn’s architecture must be proper cases for understanding this context. However, when we precisely analyze their insistence, several fallacies can be found with their incomplete grasp of Kahn’s architectural thinking. The most problematic thing is that they maximize fallibility with focusing only on the analysis of superficial phenomenon, such as formal composition, disposition of space, decorative features, and so on. Therefore, the meaning of architectural essence toward Post-Modern Architecture which Kahn had pursued during his lifetime is sometimes misinterpreted. For this reason, this paper attempt to reanalyze Kahn’s philosophy of architecture deeply with the view of aesthetics which has a key role in both overcoming their fallacies and illuminating the potentiality of Kahn’s architecture.

The purpose of this study is to understand Liszt's music using the intertextuality theory of Kristeva. The intertextuality theory is based on post-structuralism that there might not be a purely new work on any composer's. It is a mere fabricated thing which is reflected by unconsciousness of composer's experiences. Liszt is one of the most influenced composers by literature, philosophy, and art. Especially he composed not a few piano works on poets. 《Mazeppa》is the one he composed using poem of Victor Hugo. It comprised intertextual elements of carnaval languages and 'menippea' which Kisteva suggested for analyzing literature. The other conception of 'chora sémiotique' was also involved in his work. As the result of this study, the conversion of diachrony into synchrony in turn and the distinction between carnaval languages and menipea were found to be able to apply to music not only literature. This result would suggest a new significant method, as an alternative of traditional method, in music understandings.
