An Introduction to Poststructuralism - 2 of 3 (Derrida)

[2011Decision]

Framing this subject vis-a-vis communication theory perhaps diminished post-structuralism. PStructuralism is always at its most potent when used as a critical device to reveal cultural/societal discrimination ie: sexism (pallocentrism), ethnocentrism and logocentrism.

Do one on postmodernism.

@funrizwan Post-modernism - unlike Pstructuralism - is more of an umbrella term. Parallels can be drawn of terms like "information age", "scientific revolution" "renaissance" etc. Near impossible to meaningfully talk abt it in a short video clip.

Congrats for very interesting examples and clear explanation

I agree that what you've presented in these three videos isn't very shocking or dramatic...so far. Upon further study of theorists like Baudrillard and Foucault, things do get pretty shocking and dramatic.

@lntertubes It's an interesting question; I'm rereading O'Grammatologie for the next installment, and I've forgotten the almost messianic tone it sometimes adopts, which he abandons in the subsequent work.
