Post-structuralism
Post-structuralism is the counter-idea of structuralism that argues that any structural description that seeks to fully encapsulate the semantics, truth or unmediated pure experience of something will be deferred or incomplete (Derrida). 1
The “structure” is not a fixed, universal system. It is a dynamic, constantly changing web of meanings that is never fully stable or complete. Meaning is always shifting, deferred, and influenced by context and power.
