About this audiobook
Poststructuralism changes the way we understand the relations between human beings, their culture, and the world. Following a brief account of the historical relationship between structuralism and poststructuralism, this Very Short Introduction traces the key arguments that have led poststructuralists to challenge traditional theories of language and culture. While the author discusses such well-known figures as Barthes, Foucault, Derrida, and Lacan, she also draws pertinent examples from literature, art, film, and popular culture, unfolding the poststructuralist account of what it means to be a human being.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Well, it's a VSI. Mentioning big names are good enough. The introduction is rather long for a short book. Giving informal guidance to films and books is a good start.
