ABSTRACT
Uses And Problems Though Jacques Derrida’s “Structure, Sign, and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences” was by no means specifically literary in its outlook or concerns, it was among literary critics and theorists that Derrida’s ideas initially found the greatest uptake. Across the 1970s and 1980s, they would be at the core of the linked critical and philosophical movements known as deconstruction and poststructuralism.
