Abstract
Structural analysis in mass-communication research is chaotic. This paper proposes a proper method in this field, introducing the famous work of Radway, which considers both time and space structure of narrative. Moreover, we explain its significance as social Freudianism. By analyzing mass culture, which is TV drama in this case, we can visualize the"esprit du temps", the representation of the unconsciousness of the people living in that age.
