Abstract

Poststructuralism is a mode of theory in which the necessary dependence of thinking on systems of difference - such as language - is deemed to preclude any capacity to grasp a single foundation of determining origin. Unlike postmodernism, with which it is often aligned, confused, or contrasted, poststructuralism can be given two quite specific senses: chronological and logical.
