Concept information

Preferred term

structuralism and poststructuralism  

Definition(s)

  • Structuralism and, subsequently, poststructuralism were key components in what became known as the “linguistic turn” in 20th-century social theory. Both are less accurately described as theories; they are, rather, broadscale theoretical orientations, each of which served as a foundation for a rich and diverse number of thinkers and researchers.
