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.

Prospective listener, you might rightly wonder 'should I listen to this audiobook?' The best proceeding - in my opinion - would be to give it a try. Otherwise, how could one know if it was worth it?

However, in my experience the contents of this audiobook, notwithstanding its brevity and introductory purpose, greatly stimulated my philosophical outlook: - whereof I am grateful to the author and narrator for their work.

A Gem
