2. Structuralism
According to Ferdinand De Saussure Stated
three fundamental assumptions of the
language: Arbitrariness,
Relational
Systematic
Language occurs in our very nature of
perception of reality.
We need to understands Signifiers &
Signified.
3. Structuralism
It has ‘binary opposition
Signifier Signified= meaning
‘No Language or word is written without
context’ Stanly Fish.
No language has a meaning.
Language is the system in itself.
There are Lang & Bricolage
4. Poststrucuralism & Deconstruction
• It conveys the different meaning to the two
different groups.
• There is the free play of the meaning.
• Language is incapable to convey the truth.
• There is Lacuna, a decoding of interpretations
• Derrida has given theory of ‘Daffarance’
• There is no such meaning lied in the word.
5. Poststrucuralism & Deconstruction
• There is no center.
• There is no margins.
• Structure defines meanings, center & margins.
• There is an Aphoria.
• Derrida Defines that there is no final meaning
because each time you arrive at a set of ‘key
terms’ or meaning, you discover need to move
on to more work.
6. Power Theory
• There is the dominance of the knowledge,
generated by Powerful People, over the
society.
• According to it the person who is not suitable
within the definition of Knowledge is
abnormal, Subaltern & marginalized
• For example it here is a fox with tail enter into
the area where there are no tails to foxes over
there , the fox is abnormal rather then having
normal anatomy of body.
7. Power Theory
• Ideology
• I have come to learn that their pursuit of
perfection is really a disguise for insecurity.
9. The Subaltern
• Gayatri Chakravarty Spivak has borrowed the
word ‘Subaltern ‘ from Italian Marxist Antonio
Gramci.
• It denotes the suppressed class i.e. the
marginalized people.
• The intellectuals should put the positions of
the suppressed before the society.
• The retelling of the history should be there as
the history is of the elit class or the POWER.
