It also explains Jacques Derrida's work deconstructing structuralism and challenging the idea of a stable center or meaning. Finally, it outlines the contributions of other post-structuralist thinkers like Roland Barthes, Jacques Lacan, Paul de Man, and Michel Foucault in developing concepts like intertextuality, the author's death, and dismantling binary oppositions.
