Superstructuralism: The Philosophy of Structuralism and Post-Structuralism (New Accents) by Richard Harland
Requirements: PDF Reader, 4.01 MB
Overview: 'Superstructuralism' is an overarching term to cover Structuralism, Semiotics, Post-Structuralism, and associated movements. In his book, Dr Harland claims that these movements all spring from a characteristic 'superstructuralizing' way of thinking: a way of thinking that inverts our ordinary mode until superstructures which used to seem secondary take precedence over bases which used to seem primary. Ultimately, the book locates this way of thinking in its relation to previous similar ways of thinking -- previous European ways of thinking, not generally understood or appreciated in the Anglo-Saxon world.
At the same time, Dr Harland does not deny the radical shifts and changes through which Superstructuralism has passed. But he argues that such shifts and changes represent the inevitable unfolding of a Superstructuralist way of thinking. From scientific Structuralists to anti-scientific Post-Structuralists, from interpretations of Freud and Marx to refutations of Freud and Marx, from studies of language and society to subversions of language and society -- there is a logical story behind the chronological sequence. It is this story that Dr Harland seeks to disclose in his comprehensive account of all the major Superstructuralists: Saussure, Lacan, Benveniste, Jakobson, Lévi-Strauss, Barthes, Althusser, Foucault, Derrida, Kristeva, Deleuze and Guattari, and Baudrillard.
