Document Summary
Jacques derrida (1930 2004) trying to make. Aristotle was a philosopher; he was born, he thought, and he died everything else is just purely an anecdote. Derrida makes the film crew noticeable; constantly reminding people watching his documentary of the film crew that is filming him. Start to get a sense of some of the basic tenants of derrida"s work. Should not naturalize what is not natural (socially and institutionally constructed. Like the film crew filming the documentary) Anthropology, literary studies, psychology, psychoanalysis, philosophy, sociology: fields. Saussure in structuralism said that language acted as a type of model language is the model. Structuralist approaches used to analyze diverse social and cultural phenomena. A silhouette shooting a soccer ball meaning is only given to the image once we understand the rules of the sport of soccer the structure of the game (act wouldn"t make sense otherwise)
