Form of cultural criticism
Studied by former structuralists Jacque Derrida and Michel Foucault
A reaction to structuralism.
Connects meaning to culture.
Deconstructs signifiers as there are no universal truths, so signifiers/symbolic constructs cannot be relied upon to give meaning.
A closed system.
Unlike structuralism, where symbols, paradigms, and schema are connected to a universal meaning
To have actual meaning, they must become unstable, or else they will simply work to leave hegemonies intact, thus leaving power structures in place.
