In this chapter key ideas and thinkers of structuralism – from de Saussure and Lévi-Strauss to Barthes and post-structuralism (Derrida, Foucault) – are discussed, analysed and overviewed. The theme of subjectivity is used to chart a course among these various thinkers, and beyond them to critiques of both structuralist and post-structuralist thinking by Manfred Frank and Anthony Giddens.
