Question

what is post-structuralism?Examine Derrida's theory of deconstruction

Answer 1

Post-structuralism refers to how knowledge of an object is gained by studying the object and the knowledge systems used to produce the object. In other words, post-structuralism follows a more historical approach.

According to Derrida, deconstruction refers to an evaluation of the relationship between a text and its meaning. Language is a system of words and signs. The only reason why a language is meaningful is because the signs are different.
