Course content
|
Post-structuralism and post-modernism are umbrella terms for an entire range of, in all actuality, fairly differing theories: deconstruction (Derrida), discourse analysis (Foucault), intertextuality (Kristeva), structural psychoanalysis (Lacan), etc. In this seminar, it is demonstrated from when and under what circumstances post-structuralism had evolved from structuralist varieties (Roland Barthes). The linking element of all post-structuralist methods is the connection to de Saussure´s understanding of language, although the double arbitrariness of the sign is being criticised (superiority of the signifier). This generally involves a partial revival of the referent, which merely plays a passive role in de Saussure´s triade in the theory of signs. Hence, the differences between post-structuralist and semiotic models become more obvious. Finally, the course presents the consequences of post-structuralism with regard to philosophy of language and the logic of argumentation (Searle, Quine).
