Category:Jacques Derrida

Derrida’s highly abstract post-structuralism is about the radical instability of the Saussurian sign. That is, the oppositions of Saussurian meaning are full of power and dialectical struggle, and never at all stable, not merely difference by différance, a pun meant to evoke the role that time plays in oppositional structures (i.e. difference (différence) is always deffered (différé)).
