Jacques Derrida's "Structure, Sign, and Play"

from Theory & Philosophy Hosted by David Guignion

It is here that he lays the foundation of what would become deconstruction, the destabilization of the assumed univocality of either term in a binary. He does this by undoing the oft-assumed belief that structures do not move, and that they are fundamentally opposed to "play."
