ABSTRACT
From the 1970s to the 1990s was the great age of post-structuralism. The idea of looking for a single, if complex, meaning for any text, based on a tacit appeal to the universal human nature of the writer or reader, was replaced by the notions of a fragmented text, producing multiple meanings, and a fragmented subject, reflecting many different identities. And this was made the basis of a radical, though gestural, politics.
