My view on Poststructuralism by Jacques Derrida


          Poststructuralism is entirely a  difficult approach. Post structuralism is really a cultural movement more than an intellectual movement. Post structuralism moved beyond this questioning the very notions of truth, reality, meaning sincerity good etc. while this series can be very useful for certain movements, ideas, belief systems or historical periods. I think for Poststructuralism brevity sacrifices far too much clarity several times, I found myself spending tree, four , five minutes trying to unpack a single dance sentence.

          “Any of several theories of literary criticism, as deconstruction or reader response criticism that use structuralist methods but argues against the results of structuralism and hold that there is no one true reading of a text”

          Post structuralism is the reaction to structuralism a variety of post modernism. The poststructuralists accuse structuralists of not following through the implications of views about language on which their intellectual system is based. One struturalists said that language doesn’t  but just reflect or record the world.

          When we go deep into foundation of that thing we can deconstruct, subvert, undermine, blast it.

          I would like to deconstruct the movie 3 Idiot. In this movie the characterization of Hero Rancho is like romantic  hero than real, where as the principal of that engineering college is more honest or realistic portrayal. But then even professor is laughed at and hero is praised even though it is not real. The same is about Interview scene of boy named    Raju.  He denies that he will not change his attitude, which is in reality is not possible. Any body will change himself or say yes to get job.


 Thus, we can deconstruct this idea.
