Derrida - Coggle Diagram
Derrida
Centre
centre= Truth, God, Man etc. It is what holds the structure together. Tho structuralism refutes giving meaning to a centre. it ends up making LANGUAGE the centre of everything
De-centre = while the centre defines everything , it itself resists definition. Thus, the centre is both inside and outside the structure . Thus, the centre is not the centre
No totality/ absolute because that would mean origin/ centre. so author is not the centre. it is just one of the many meaning possible
-
Play
It can be understood as endless substitution of sign. A centre resists Play . But once play is unleashed centre is de-centred
-
Play is always in tension w/ presence. bcoz a presence would mean centre/being/ some positive force and play resists that . Therefore, the idea of trace- both ab + presence
Play is tension w/ history. Tension holds play and stops play. when freeplay is allowed History would not base itself on a centre (king, empire etc.) - opens up the idea of mulitiplicity
-
Sign
unlike ST, PoST, makes a break b/w signifier and signified itself. Derrida says that yes meaning is differential but it is also differed. Thus, the term DIFFERANCE.
Structure
Structurally of structure , what makes a structure a structure
Event
Rupture= break from previous ideas/ structures. like Freud's idea of self can be seen a rupture. but bcoz Freud goes back to older ideas it is also a redoubling
yet a redoubling because you go back to the old ideas, you use the very terms u wanna reject. PoCo using the Col vocab for instance . link with De-centring
Levi Strauss as case study - Nature/ culture truth/ method
Engineer= centre
Bricoleur- methodological tool, takes from other things to make something
but engineer= bricoleur coz origin not possible
-
Final answer- we need both interpretations- origin + the idea that their can be no origin - allows for plurality
