ABSTRACT
Other Ideas The most notable secondary idea in Jacques Derrida’s “Structure, Sign and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences” is the concept of “deconstruction.” Though Derrida never laid out a method of deconstruction as such, the term widely became synonymous with Derrida’s work from the early 1970s onwards. And, within and alongside “poststructuralism,” it went on to become one of the most significant literary-theoretical positions of the late twentieth century.1
