Culture and Post-structuralism

Post-structuralist approach to culture is the result of the thought deadlock in structuralist approach. Therefore, it must deconstruct the previous structures of structuralists, make the flexible, fluent, and evasive aspect of culture prominent, and in its genealogy and paleontology rely on "knowledge" and "power", respectively. In this regard, it claims that there are always forms of dominant discourse which are in contrast with forms of obstinate dialogues – or anti-discourse – and social arena is the ground for incessant confrontation of semantic networks. Thus, culture should not be imagined as if it is based on a principle and is under a central semantic system; rather, it is the result of struggles and challenges through which relativism is born
