Poststructuralism - A very short introduction

In this video I give an overview about poststructuralism. It encompasses various theories and positions that started to develop in France during the 1960s. The basic assumption is that our world is constructed and ordered in discourse. Literature recommendations: Derrida, J. (1978). Structure, sign, and play in the discourse of the human sciences. Writing and difference. Deleuze, G., & Guattari, F. (1988). A thousand plateaus: Capitalism and schizophrenia. Bloomsbury Publishing. Barthes, R. (2001). The death of the author. Contributions in Philosophy, 83, 3-8.
