AnswerClick to flip back
💡 Explanation:
Post-structuralism is a school of thought that challenges the traditional notions of truth, reality, power, and subjectivity. It argues that there is no single, objective truth, but rather that truth is constructed through discourse and power relations. Language is seen as the primary means of constructing reality, and power is seen as a fundamental aspect of social life that shapes the way we think and act. The subject is seen as a product of discourse, rather than as a fixed and stable entity.
