Deconstructionism was initiated by Jacques Derrida in the 1960s as a theory of literary criticism that questions traditional assumptions of certainty, identity, and truth. It asserts that words can only refer to other words and denies being a doctrine or method. Derrida and other scholars like Paul de Man and J. Hillis Miller developed deconstructionism at Yale University between the 1960s and 1980s. Deconstructionism examines the tensions between hierarchical opposites in texts like nature/culture, speech/writing, and mind/body. It calls attention to the role of absence and difference in fundamental philosophical concepts like truth, reality, and being. Despite some criticism of being nihilistic, ahistorical and apolitical,

Deconstruction
1. Deconstruction began as a philosophical movement that questioned metaphysical assumptions in Western philosophy. Thinkers like Rene Descartes and Fredrick Nietzsche began questioning the objective truth of language.
2. Jacques Derrida developed deconstruction as a form of semiotic analysis that disputed philosophical centers of meaning and binary oppositions. He analyzed how meanings shift within language.
3. Deconstruction examines how texts undermine or defer fixed meanings through ambiguities in signs and changing relationships between signifiers and signifieds. It aims to "de-center" the search for transcendental truths or meanings.
Literary Criticism: Deconstruction
This document provides an overview of deconstruction as a literary theory. It discusses how deconstruction questions the objective truth of language and focuses on ambiguities in meaning. The founder, Jacques Derrida, viewed it as a strategy for reading that looks at what is not present in a text. Deconstruction analyzes binary oppositions and aims to give privilege to the non-dominant part. It has been criticized for making literature seem like "word play" and obscuring meaning.
Derrida’s post structuralism
Derrida developed the concept of deconstruction as a form of textual analysis. It focuses on how language and texts have multiple meanings due to differences in interpretation over time and space. Derrida argued that searching for a single fixed meaning in a text is misguided, as the unstable nature of signs and language means meanings are deferred and undecidable. His work challenged structuralism and emphasized how language constructs reality rather than reflects it. Deconstruction remains influential in literary theory by examining silences and absences in texts.
Deconstruction ppt
This document discusses the concept of deconstruction. It outlines four conceptions of meaning - idealist, humanist, structuralist, and post-structuralist/deconstructionist. Deconstruction decentralizes meaning-making systems by exposing how they posit a privileged center or origin of meaning. It observes that all signifying systems operate through binary oppositions where one term is favored over the other. The goal of deconstruction is to dissolve these hierarchical oppositions and reveal the instability of truth claims based on the privileged terms.
Theory of Deconstruction with Examples
This document provides an overview of the theory of deconstruction as developed by French philosopher Jacques Derrida. It discusses Derrida's influences including Martin Heidegger and Ferdinand de Saussure. Key concepts of deconstruction discussed include binary oppositions, logocentrism, and analyzing what a text omits in addition to what it includes. As an example, the document deconstructs the poem "Snow" by Frederick Seidel to explore symbolic meanings beyond what is directly stated.
Literary Theory & Criticism pt 3: Post-Structuralism & Deconstruction
Post-structuralism rejects absolute definitions and focuses on specific histories and contexts. It developed as a reaction to structuralism, which studied underlying structures but was seen as ignoring cultural influences. While post-structuralism retains structuralism's emphasis on language and coded systems, it argues that meaning is constructed differently for each reader and that texts have multiple interpretations. Major post-structuralist thinkers who developed these ideas include Barthes, Derrida, Foucault, and Kristeva.
Postcolonialism
Postcolonialism refers to intellectual works and theories that emerged in the mid-20th century in response to colonialism. It focuses on regions that were formerly colonized, including parts of Africa, Asia, and India. Postcolonial theory examines the cultural legacy of colonialism and the conflicts between colonizers and indigenous populations. Important theorists include Edward Said, Homi Bhabha, and Gayatri Spivak. Postcolonial criticism seeks to challenge Eurocentric perspectives and address how colonial powers represented foreign cultures.

Deconstruction is a strategy for analyzing texts developed by Jacques Derrida that focuses on ambiguities and contradictions in language. It originated from thinkers like Rene Descartes and Fredrick Nietzsche who questioned the objective truth of language. Structuralism, which sought to understand how language systems work, preceded deconstruction. Ferdinand de Saussure's study of language introduced concepts like the signifier/signified and langue/parole that deconstruction examines. Deconstruction analyzes binary oppositions in texts and seeks to reverse the relationship between dominant and non-dominant elements.

What is formalism?
Formalism is a 20th century Russian school of literary criticism that analyzes texts based on grammar, syntax, and literary devices rather than historical or cultural context. It began in two groups in the 1910s that stressed the importance of form over content. Key aspects of formalism included viewing literature as a special use of language, focusing on the formal functions and textures of texts, and considering how something is said rather than what is said. Important concepts introduced by formalists include defamiliarization, making the familiar strange, and foregrounding, or deautomatization through techniques like punctuation.
Poststructuralism literary criticism
This document discusses post-structuralism and provides examples of its application. It begins by defining post-structuralism as studying how knowledge is produced and critiquing structuralist assumptions, arguing that history and culture influence interpretations. It notes post-structuralism is less defined as a single movement than structuralism. The document then gives two literary examples - a poem about a black rose questioning social perceptions, and a poem using an ocean metaphor for a family - to demonstrate post-structuralist analysis focusing on reader interpretation over authorial intent.
Deconstruction
Deconstruction is a philosophical and literary theory that challenges traditional interpretations of texts by questioning assumptions about meaning, identity, and language. It aims to undermine systems of thought based on stable concepts of self, world, and meaning. Jacques Derrida developed these ideas and conducted deconstructive readings of many thinkers, showing how meaning depends on linguistic and conceptual relationships rather than correspondence to external realities.
theory of deconstruction
This document provides an overview of several key concepts in literary theory, including structuralism, post-structuralism, psychoanalytic theory, Lacanian theory, and the theory of deconstruction. It discusses major proponents of these theories such as Derrida, Foucault, Kristeva, and Lacan. Key aspects of deconstruction outlined include the literary and philosophical aspects, logocentrism, metaphysics of presence, différance, and arche-writing. Foucault's ideas around power/knowledge and different types of power are also summarized.
New criticism
- New Criticism emerged in the 1940s-1960s as a reaction against biographical and historical criticism that focused on external context like an author's life.
- New Critics examined only what was in the text itself using close reading of elements like metaphor, irony, tension and ambiguity to interpret a work's true meaning.
- They believed the text should be treated as a self-contained object and that meaning comes from analyzing linguistic devices rather than the author's intent or a reader's subjective response.
Post Structuralism
This document provides an overview of post-structuralism and how it differs from structuralism. It emerged in France in the 1960s as a critique of structuralism. Post-structuralism holds that studying underlying structures is culturally conditioned and subject to biases. It focuses on how systems of knowledge produce objects and meanings rather than discovering fixed meanings. Prominent post-structuralist thinkers included Derrida, Foucault, Barthes, and Kristeva. Derrida criticized structuralism for assuming a fixed center that organizes structure. Post-structuralism emphasizes the instability of meaning and the role of the reader in interpreting texts rather than the author's intended meaning.
Postcolonialism Theory
Postcolonialism theory examines the oppression experienced by colonized peoples and societies. It addresses factors like political, economic, social, cultural and psychological oppression imposed by colonial powers. Major postcolonial theorists include Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak, and Frantz Fanon. They analyzed how colonizers imposed their values on colonized groups, influenced identities, and resisted colonial rule. Postcolonial criticism now examines themes like hybridity, exile, and double consciousness in former colonies' literature and culture.

Derrida and Deconstruction
This document discusses Jacques Derrida and the concept of deconstruction. It notes that Derrida was an influential French philosopher best known for developing deconstruction. Deconstruction is a method of textual analysis that emphasizes exploring implicit assumptions and seeking meanings that run counter to intended interpretations. The document provides details on Derrida's works and influence, and gives an example of how T.P. Kailasam's play "The Purpose" employs deconstruction techniques to give a silenced character from the Mahabharata a voice.
Stylistics and it’s relation with linguistics and literature
Stylistics is a branch of linguistics that studies style through a scientific analysis of linguistic features in different types of language varieties. It examines how readers interact with and are affected by the language of literary texts. Stylistics can be viewed as the study of phonological, lexical, and syntactical linguistic features that directly impact a text's meaning. It originated in the 19th century as the study of literary style and has influenced both linguistics and literature by analyzing the effectiveness of language units in different speech types and examining how artistic expressiveness is achieved in literary works.
New Historicism
New Historicism is a method that reads literary and non-literary texts from the same historical period together. It was coined by Stephen Greenblatt in 1980 and was influenced by Michel Foucault's theory. Unlike old historicism, new historicism gives equal weight to literary and non-literary texts and sees them as constantly informing each other. It places literary texts in the context of historical documents from the same time period rather than seeing history as a background to literature.
Deconstruction: Literary Criticism
The document discusses Derrida's deconstructionist view of language. Some key points:
1) Deconstruction holds that language is ambiguous and unstable rather than a clear tool of communication, as meanings can slip and change based on emphasis, tone, and context.
2) The meanings of words and phrases are not fixed but rather fluid and dynamic, with any signifier able to reference multiple signifieds.
3) For deconstruction, literature similarly consists of overlapping and conflicting meanings that are undecidable, as different readers will derive various interpretations from a text.

New historicism & Cultural materialism
This document provides an overview of New Historicism and Cultural Materialism critical theories. It defines New Historicism as examining literature within its historical context through parallel readings of literary and non-literary texts from the same time period. Cultural Materialism studies the implications of literary texts in history and takes a materialist approach, seeing culture as the object of study rather than just literature. The document outlines the key influences, characteristics, differences and examples of applying these theories to texts like Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and Othello.
Difference between Literary Theory and Criticism
Literary criticism is the analysis and evaluation of literature by examining themes, language use, and aesthetic elements. Literary theory discusses the philosophical methods and goals of criticism. While related, critics do not always use theory in their analysis. Some see criticism as applying theory to specific works, while others argue over whether criticism and theory should be considered separate fields. Literary criticism focuses on estimating the value of works, while theory seeks to understand the nature and functions of literature.
Post-structuralism and deconstruction
Post-structuralism emerged in the 1960s as a response to structuralism. It focuses on examining sources of meaning beyond the author, such as readers and cultural norms. Key figures include Roland Barthes, who argued the author is not the prime source of a text's meaning, and Jacques Derrida, who proposed theoretical limitations to structuralism. Post-structuralism differs from structuralism in its philosophical origins, emphasis on language as unstable rather than orderly, and aim to question assumptions rather than establish truth. Deconstruction examines how meanings play in language and change over contexts to understand silenced voices.

The document provides an overview of postcolonial theory, which focuses on literature from colonized countries and how it relates to their interactions with colonizing powers. It discusses three key figures in postcolonial theory - Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak, and Homi Bhabha. Said introduced the concept of Orientalism to examine how Western powers represented colonized Asian and Middle Eastern cultures. Spivak and Bhabha also made major contributions through their works examining issues like gender and nationalism in colonized societies. The document then surveys examples of postcolonial literature from regions that experienced colonialism like Latin America, Africa, South Asia, and the Caribbean.
Cognitive and feminist stylistics
This document discusses the key aspects of feminist stylistics. It notes that feminist stylistics analyzes texts through a feminist lens to uncover patterns of sexism and representations of gender. It examines differences in how men and women are portrayed in literature and their language use. Some differences highlighted include women using more hedging, shorter sentences, coordination over subordination, and a focus on emotion over control. The goal of feminist stylistics is linguistic and social change by challenging patriarchal assumptions and stereotypes.
Literary Criticism Lens: Deconstructionism
Deconstruction began in the 1960s with Jacques Derrida and other theorists who took structuralism to its logical extreme. They argued that language is unstable and meanings are uncertain. Deconstruction involves carefully analyzing texts to uncover inconsistencies and contradictions. This reveals the complex foundations that are difficult to interpret definitively. The process involves two phases - first reversing hierarchies, then neutralizing binary oppositions to arrive at undecidable meanings. Deconstruction has been applied to analyze various literary works.
deconstruction by derrida.
Derrida developed the technique of deconstruction to closely analyze texts. Deconstruction aims to uncover the underlying assumptions and conceptual frameworks that shape our understanding. In his work "Structure, Sign and Play", Derrida analyzed the concepts of structure, sign, and play. He argued that meaning is never fully present but always deferred. Derrida was influenced by Nietzsche, Freud, and Heidegger. He explored Nietzsche's famous statement "God is dead" and the implications of the death of God for our understanding of place and power.

Derrida Presentation 1
Derrida was a French philosopher who was influential in the development of post-structuralism. He argued that speech is not fundamentally different than writing and that language refers only to other signs in an endless chain of signification. Through deconstruction, Derrida sought to reveal the contradictory and unstable nature of concepts like truth, meaning, and authorship. He was critical of logocentrism, or the privileging of speech over writing and presence over absence. For Derrida, there is no escaping interpretation and every text simultaneously reveals and conceals meaning.

Moral Criticism and Dramatic Construction (C&C)
The document discusses the differing views of Plato and Aristotle on the purpose of art. For Plato, art should be limited and serve only to teach moral lessons and promote ethics, otherwise it could be harmful. Aristotle believed that art should provide pleasure for the audience and include elements like language, character, and plot that could elicit catharsis in the viewer, rather than strictly teach morality. Both philosophers had a major influence on Western art but there remains a debate on whether art should primarily teach or simply be enjoyed.
Moral & philosophical criticism of hamlet real
Moral criticism views literature as an important source of moral guidance and spiritual inspiration. Critics who take a moral approach often judge literary works based on their ethical teachings and their effects on readers, praising works that encourage virtue and condemning those that misguide or corrupt. While some modern theories may resist literature's didactic purpose, many great writers saw themselves as teachers as well as artists. Figures like Plato, Aristotle, and Horace acknowledged literature's power to shape morality and its potential to foster virtue.
Deconstruction Approach
The document discusses Jacques Derrida and his theory of deconstruction. Some key points:
- Derrida was a French philosopher who introduced the theory of deconstruction in 1967 to challenge philosophical traditions and binary oppositions.
- Deconstruction examines contradictions within texts and aims to uncover what has been marginalized or repressed.
- It focuses on how language achieves power and how words cannot express fixed meanings, as every statement leaves out other possibilities.
I poststructuralism deconstruction
Derrida developed the concept of deconstruction as a method of textual analysis that questions traditional philosophical assumptions about language and meaning. Deconstruction examines the inherent instability in all texts created through language and seeks to uncover multiple interpretations by challenging hierarchical oppositions such as speech over writing. While controversial, deconstruction had a significant influence on literary theory by promoting a fluid, open understanding of texts unconstrained by authorial intent or fixed meanings.
Jacques Derrida
Jacques Derrida was a French philosopher associated with post-structuralism. He developed the concept of "différance", meaning that meaning is never fully present but always deferred to other meanings. Derrida also analyzed "violent hierarchies" in binary oppositions where one term dominates the other. He argued this dominance should be reversed through deconstruction. Derrida further believed interpretation has been part of human nature since Eden.
Cubism
Cubism was an influential early 20th century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture. Led by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, Cubism was characterized by the geometric fragmentation and synthetic reassembly of forms to depict subject matter from multiple viewpoints in the same canvas. Major influences on Cubism included African tribal masks, Cézanne's compositions, and Fauvism. Cubism evolved from an early phase of angular, simplified still life subjects to a later incorporation of collage materials and brighter colors. Key Cubist artists beyond Picasso and Braque included Juan Gris, Fernand Léger, and Jean Metzinger.
Moral Criticism
Moral criticism examines literature through a moral or philosophical lens to assess how well a work teaches morality or explores philosophical issues. While this approach can be useful for works with an obvious moral message, it has declined in popularity due to perceived limitations. Specifically, moral criticism risks being too judgmental and oversimplifying complex works, as discerning intentions and evaluating contexts is difficult.
The Concept of Binary Opposition
The document discusses the concept of binary opposition, which refers to pairs of terms or concepts that are opposites, such as good/bad or male/female. It outlines the history and theories around binary opposition in structuralism, post-structuralism, western thought, and Islam. Examples are given of how binary opposition is used in literature to explore differences between groups and categories of people and the problems that can arise from such divisions.

The document discusses different approaches to literary criticism including formalist criticism, which examines the internal elements of a work like form and structure, deconstructionist criticism, which argues that language is unstable and meaning depends on opposition, and reader-response criticism, which views meaning as constructed through the interaction between reader and text rather than imposed by the author alone. Formalism looks at the work in isolation while deconstruction and reader-response theories emphasize the role of external contexts and the reader's interpretation. The different approaches analyze texts through different lenses and priorities.

Hist Over Psych Anth S10
Herbert Spencer developed a theory of social evolution in the 19th century that applied concepts of biological evolution to societies. He believed societies evolved from primitive to advanced stages through a process of "survival of the fittest." Spencer's ideas influenced early anthropology and psychology, as both fields applied an evolutionary model to understand individual and cultural development. However, his views were criticized for being overly simplistic and for justifying social policies that disadvantaged certain groups.
Post-Structuralism Literary Theory..pptx
This document provides an overview of post-structuralism and some of its key proponents and concepts. Post-structuralism emerged in France in the 1960s-1970s and challenged the idea of stable meanings and identities. It emphasizes the uncertainty of knowledge, particularly in language, and that truth is constantly changing based on cultural and social contexts. Major figures associated with post-structuralism discussed include Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, and Roland Barthes. Key concepts explored include deconstruction, différance, discourse analysis, and the instability of language and meaning.
Five types of c.s
The document summarizes five types of cultural studies: (1) British Cultural Materialism, (2) New Historicism, (3) American Multiculturalism including African American, Latina/o, American Indian, and Asian American writers, (4) Postmodernism and Popular Culture, and (5) Postcolonial Studies. It provides details on the key ideas and scholars associated with each type of cultural studies.
J. derrida. prezentacja
Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) was a highly influential 20th century French philosopher and founder of deconstruction. Born in Algeria to a Jewish family, Derrida experienced discrimination as a child. In his work Of Grammatology, Derrida introduced ideas like how language relies on contrasts between signs to generate meaning, and how meaning is never fully present but deferred through an endless chain of signifiers. Deconstruction examines philosophical assumptions about concepts like presence and meaning, arguing they rely on binary oppositions that require and undermine each other. Derrida's work had wide-ranging impacts across many academic fields through challenging prevailing assumptions.
postmodernism.pptx
Postmodernism first entered philosophical discourse in 1979 with Jean-François Lyotard's book "The Postmodern Condition". Lyotard used concepts from Wittgenstein and speech act theory to account for changes in science, art, and literature since the late 19th century. There is no consensus on when postmodernism began, with suggestions ranging from the mid-1960s to the 1980s. Postmodernism rejects universal narratives and values plurality and difference over essentialism. It challenges notions of objective truth and rationality from the Enlightenment era. Major postmodern thinkers include Lyotard, Baudrillard, Derrida, Foucault, and Barthes, who developed concepts like simulation, deconstruction,
anthropology- Disciplines and Ideas in the Social Sciences.pptx
Anthropology is the systematic study of humans, their societies, and cultures across time and place. It is divided into five main subfields: social/cultural anthropology which studies social patterns and cultural variation; linguistic anthropology which examines how language shapes culture and society; biological/physical anthropology which studies human evolution and biology; archaeology which analyzes prehistoric human artifacts and environments; and the most interdisciplinary is social anthropology which integrates elements from other fields to comprehensively understand humanity. Some renowned anthropologists who made significant contributions include Margaret Mead, Bronislaw Malinowski, Alfred Kroeber, Clifford Geertz, and Edward Tylor.
Paper.8.Four goals of Cultural Studies.
This document outlines four goals of cultural studies:
1) Cultural studies is interdisciplinary, drawing from fields like Marxism, postmodernism, feminism, and postcolonial studies. It analyzes cultural phenomena across disciplines.
2) Cultural studies questions power structures and seeks to discover models for more equitable relationships between dominant and minority groups.
3) Cultural studies analyzes how individual subjectivity is culturally constructed and denies the separation between high and low or elite and popular culture. It studies the influence of economic and political forces on culture.
Mohsine And Soufianes Presentation
Stuart Hall outlines two paradigms in cultural studies: culturalism and structuralism. Culturalism, associated with Raymond Williams and E.P. Thompson, sees culture as the lived experiences and practices of social groups. Structuralism, associated with Levi-Strauss and Althusser, sees culture and experience as the effect of underlying symbolic structures and frameworks. Hall discusses the emergence of cultural studies and how structuralism interrupted the cultural strand, creating stark contrasts around the role of experience.
4 2-social human life-anthropology
This document provides an overview of the origins and development of anthropology as an academic discipline. It discusses early cultural evolutionist perspectives from the 19th century and influential theorists such as Tylor, Frazer, Maine and Morgan. It outlines the significant contributions of Boas, Malinowski and Radcliffe-Brown in establishing anthropology as a social science. The document also defines key anthropological concepts such as culture and society and describes the main branches and approaches of anthropology.
1 Media Early Civil
The document discusses several early forms of communication before the development of writing systems, including:
- Marshack's claim that prehistoric artifacts were used as early communication media to record and share information, indicating a "cultural revolution".
- Innis' argument that different ancient civilizations adopted different communication mediums like stone or papyrus depending on whether information needed to be durable over long periods of time or portable over large distances.
- Robinson's view that various early writing systems evolved from pictograms and borrowed elements from each other, using mixtures of phonetic and semantic signs, rather than all developing completely independently.
Hon did the Social Sciences emerge? Hon does it link to the Natural Sciences?
This document discusses the emergence and development of social science. It defines social science as the study of society using scientific methods and traditions. Several key concepts in social science are introduced such as ethnography, modernity, functionalism, positivism, and the scientific method. Important early Filipino thinkers who applied social science to understand Philippine society and advance independence are also mentioned, including Jose Rizal, Isabelo de los Reyes, Jose Burgos, Pedro Paterno, and Trinidad H. Pardo de Tavera.
Russian Formalism
One of the most influential literary critical movements of the 20th century. Speaking very generally, Russian Formalism as a critical movement was interested in identifying the specific quality of language use that separated the literary text from the non-literary text. Their approach was scientific inasmuch as they thought it was possible to establish what it is precisely that distinguishes ordinary usages of language from the poetic. Unlike the later post-structuralists, the Russian Formalists treated poetry as an autonomous form of discourse that was distinct from all other forms of discourse. They referred to this difference in qualitative terms as literaturnost (literariness) and sought to quantify (i.e. formalize) it by means of their theory of ostranenie (estrangement), which simply put is the process of making the already familiar seem unfamiliar or strange, thereby awakening in us a heightened state of perception.
Postmodernism and philosophy
This document summarizes key concepts from postmodern philosophy. It discusses theorists like Lyotard, Derrida, Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, and feminist philosophers. Some of the main ideas discussed are Lyotard's concept of postmodernity as a shift in perception due to changes in knowledge production; Derrida's concept of differance and how it destabilizes meaning; Foucault's studies of power and marginalization; and Deleuze and Guattari's rejection of psychoanalytic theories. It also summarizes Lyotard's concepts of event, differend, and the sublime.
Philosophy
The document summarizes several philosophical schools of thought, including existentialism, phenomenology, analytic philosophy, hermeneutics, postmodernism, deconstructionism, skepticism, pragmatism, feminism, utilitarianism, rationalism, and empiricism. For each school, it provides a brief definition and lists some notable philosophers associated with that tradition.
Orientalism and Nationalism
Nationalism emerged in the 18th century with the French Enlightenment and American Revolution. It holds that humanity can be divided into separate nation states with their own rights and duties. While nationalism provided explanations for conflicts, it also became a mobilizing force for people. Orientalism refers to the academic study of Asia and the Middle East but was criticized by Edward Said for distorting alien societies by exaggerating differences, treating cultures as static essences, and separating societies from Western influences. Anthropologists have struggled with how to study nationalism and avoid the pitfalls of Orientalism while still making comparisons across cultures.
Some Philosophical School of Thought
The document discusses several philosophical schools of thought including existentialism, phenomenology, analytic philosophy, hermeneutics, postmodernism, deconstructionism, skepticism, pragmatism, feminism, utilitarianism, rationalism, and empiricism. It provides a brief overview of each school, focusing on key ideas and notable philosophers associated with each approach. References are provided at the end for further reading.

This document provides an introduction to anthropology as an academic discipline. It begins by defining anthropology as the study of human culture and society through empirical research methods like ethnographic fieldwork. It discusses debates around key concepts like culture, noting that culture refers both to human universals and systematic differences. While culture was traditionally viewed as integrated and bounded, some see it as unbounded and contested. The document also distinguishes between culture as the cognitive and symbolic aspects of human life, and society as patterns of social interaction and power relations. In summarizing anthropology, it emphasizes the discipline's comparative approach, fieldwork methodology, and global scope in studying diverse human societies.

It also defines cuboids, square prisms, and cubes. Formulas for calculating the volume and surface area of prisms are given. Examples of calculating volume using the area of different shapes and length are provided.
Rounding off
Rounding is a process of minimizing numbers while keeping their value. It involves deciding which numbers to keep based on whether the number is less than 5, in which case it is left the same, or exactly 5 or above, when it is rounded up or 1 is added. Five is used as the threshold because it is in the middle and represents having enough members on a team to not lose a game. When reading decimals, the decimal point signifies "and" to state the place value of each digit.
First aid

Fallacy of advantage
This document provides several examples of the fallacy of appealing to advantage. It describes the fallacy as an improper argument that urges someone to perform an act against their will by promising some benefit. The examples include a politician requesting data manipulation in exchange for money, a gladiator being told he could reunite with his wife if he succeeded, and a yakuza leader offering a woman her former lifestyle in exchange for sex.
Mixed method research
Mixed method research involves collecting and analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data. It is guided by a pragmatic worldview that focuses on practical solutions to research problems. Mixed method designs provide an overview of both qualitative and quantitative approaches to gain a broader and more complete understanding than a single method can provide. They allow for both objective measurement and subjective understanding to uncover processes and outcomes.
Physical development, sensory, perception, cognitive
Physical, cognitive, and sensory development progresses rapidly in infants. Physically, infants gain weight and motor skills like head control and grasping. Cognitively, infants develop object permanence and can recognize faces by 6 months. Sensory abilities also mature; infants can track moving objects visually by 3 months and prefer their mother's voice at birth. Standard tests evaluate hearing, vision, and developmental milestones. Piaget's stages describe cognitive growth from reflexive newborns to toddlers who can problem-solve.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Deconstructionism
- 1. DECONSTRUCTIONISM Reported by: Angelica Cyril C. Adivoso,RN MA BIOLOGY EDUCATION
- 2. VOCABULARIES: Ahistorical – not related to history. Apolitical – no interest in politics. Logocentricism – excessive attention paid to the meaning of words. Metalanguage – language or vocabulary used to describe language. Nihilistic- A doctrine holding that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated.
- 3. HISTORY It is initiated by Jacques Derrida 1960 It is a theory of literary criticism Questions traditional assumptions: certainty, identity, and truth; asserts that words can only refer to other words. He denied it was a doctrine or method.
- 4. The development was initiated at the Yale University between the 1960’s to 1980’s. Other Yale philosophers who contributed in deconstructionism are Paul de Man, Geoffrey Hartman and J. Hillis Miller.
- 5. OTHER INFLUENCES Richard Rorty (1931 -2007) “Accidental” features of a text.
- 6. In the 1970s the term was applied to work by Derrida, Paul de Man, J. Hillis Miller, and Barbara Johnson, among other scholars. In the 1980s it designated more loosely a range of radical theoretical enterprises in diverse areas of the humanities and social sciences.
- 7. DECONSTRUCTION IN PHILOSOPHY It is binary or hierarchical- involving a pair of terms, one is fundamental and the other one is secondary. Examples: nature and culture, speech and writing, mind and body, inside and outside To deconstruct an opposition is to explore the tensions and contradictions between the hierarchical in the text and its other meaning.
- 8. According to Jean - Jacques Rousseau, society and culture are both oppressing in “state of nature”, in which humans exist in self-sufficient and peaceful isolation. Then nature is prior to culture, yet in other sense culture is prior to nature.
- 9. Derrida also contends “logocentrism” which there is the realm of “truth.” Logocentrism encourages us to treat linguistic signs as distinct from and inessential to the phenomena they represent. The tendency to conceive fundamental philosophical concepts such as : truth reality being in terms of ideas such as presence/ essence, identity, and origin—and in the process to ignore the crucial role of absence and difference.
- 10. DECONSTRUCTION IN LITERARY STUDIES It is patterned after structuralism in France way back in the 1950’s. Structuralist movement in anthropology analyzed cultural phenomena as “signs” and attempted to develop metalanguage. 1970’s and 1980’s (US)- aid in transformation and animation of literary studies concerned about the language of nature, its meaning and relationship between human experiences and literature.
- 11. DECONSTRUCTION IN SOCIAL SCIENCE AND ARTS Influenced by the Psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud, drew attention to the formation of psyche.
- 12. In the U.S.A , the Legal Studies applied deconstruction to legal writing in an effort to reveal principles and counter principles.
- 13. INFLUENCE AND CRITICISM In all fields it called attention. It encouraged scholars to look beyond the relationship and the potential conflict between what the text says from what it does. It prompted exploration of fundamental oppositions and re-examination of ultimate goals. On the other hand, it receives criticisms from others calling it as nihilistic, ahistorical and apolitical . Despite some attacks it is still has some intellectual enterprises.
