Описание: Post-Structuralism is one of the most influential and challenging literary theories of the 20th century, and this video breaks it down in the simplest way possible. From Derrida’s concept of deconstruction to Barthes’ “Death of the Author” and Foucault’s ideas of power, this lesson explains how post-structuralism changed the way we read, interpret, and understand texts. Whether you are an MA English student or someone curious about modern literary thought, this video will help you understand how meaning becomes flexible, how language plays tricks on us, and why no text can have just one stable interpretation. Clear explanations, relatable examples, and easy language make this deep theory accessible for everyone.

In this session, you will learn why post-structuralism questions binaries, challenges authorial intention, and invites readers to explore multiple meanings hidden inside a single text. This video will guide you through the key thinkers, essential ideas, and major contributions of the movement, making it perfect for exam preparation, classroom learning, or personal study. Dive into the world where certainty breaks, language dances, and interpretation becomes an exciting journey.
