Abstract Systems Theory studies the structure and fundamentals in terms of relationship and integration, through which different aspects and elements emerge leading to the creation of a whole. It is an approach of totality and wholeness which focuses on the relationship and correspondence between the constituent parts of a system. A distinctive feature of the Systems Theory is that it develops across numerous disciplines leading to the attainment of knowledge and perspectives related to the other domains or disciplines. Its concepts are not rigid but flexible in nature because of which it keeps on evolving. It is transdisciplinary in nature as it incorporates the concepts and principles of different disciplines such as literature, management, engineering, science, social science etc leading to a holistic approach. The Systems Theory transcended the traditional disciplinary boundaries and led to the emergence of various interrelated and corresponding elements of several disciplines into a whole. Therefore, it is rightly stated that Systems Theory bridges the gap between science and humanities, leading to the elimination of age-old differences and gaps between literature and science. This elimination leads to the evolvement of a new and innovative relation and connection between the two extremely different disciplines i.e., science and humanities.
The Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) approach is one of the approaches incorporated under the Systems Theory. It focuses on discovering the relationships among the elements, which tend to focus on a specific issue or a problem. ISM is used when we encounter systems with complex structures and in literature, we often come across structurally complex texts.
This paper aims at applying the principles of the Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) approach to the complex literary system; the fictional system, Celestial Bodies, to resolve its structural complexity. This study aims to analyse and make an interdisciplinary study by incorporating the key elements of the Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) approach in literary interpretation.
