What is Post-structuralism?

What is post-structuralism?

Post-structuralism refers to the intellectual developments in philosophy and critical theory that were the results of 20th-century French philosophy.

The prefix "post" refers to the fact that many of its contributors such as Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, and Julia Kristeva were former structuralists who, after abandoning structuralism, became critical of it.

In contrast to structuralism's claims of culturally independent meaning, post-structuralists view culture as inseparable from meaning.

In this video, we will discuss what post-structuralism is, its history, key ideas, and criticisms.
