Post Structuralism


A school of thought reacting to the strict scientific approach to structuralism.   It is an approach that recognizes that literary interpretations do not have a strict or linear relationship with the objects they represent.  This group believed there was instability of meaning among words an culture.  This movement attempted to move understanding from black and white pairings to shades of grey that continually vary.   They emphasized free play while attempting to interpret texts.
