Who among the following is not a poststructuralist?
-
A.
Ferdinand de Saussure
-
B.
Roland Barthes
-
C.
Jacques Derrida
-
D.
Julia Kristeva
Correct Answer:
A. Ferdinand de Saussure
Explanation:
Apart from Ferdinand de Saussure, all mentioned authors are post-structuralists. Emerging in France during the late 1960s, post-structuralism is a philosophical and literary movement that evolved from structuralist linguistics and Jacques Derrida's deconstruction. It posits that language does not objectively mirror reality but instead derives meaning through internal linguistic contrasts. Prominent figures in this movement include Michel Foucault, Roland Barthes, Julia Kristeva, and Jacques Derrida. Therefore, option (a) is the correct choice.
