Concept information
Preferred term
poststructuralism
Definition
- Poststructuralism refers to a range of theoretical perspectives that can be seen to move away from the tenets of structuralism, although poststructuralism has to be regarded as being more wide ranging and theoretically nuanced than a straightforward oppositional positioning of structuralism–poststructuralism would suggest. Poststructuralist research practices do not look to identifying participant responses that can be seen to give rise to essentialist or uniquely privileged accounts that discover “the truth” of a situation.
