Poststructuralism by Catherine Belsey
A clear, accessible introduction that explains poststructuralism’s core claim that meaning is unstable and language does not simply reflect a fixed reality; instead, texts and discourses create subjects, identities, and social relations through shifting chains of signification. It contrasts poststructuralist thought with structuralist models, outlines key concepts such as deconstruction, intertextuality, the decentered subject, and the politics of discourse, and shows how these ideas reshape literary interpretation and cultural critique by exposing how knowledge and power are mutually implicated and open to contestation.
