Theorists ... Who, why and how?

Jacques Derrida: recognised how binary pairs were not always equal.

*APOLOGIES FOR THE BLUNTNESS*

According to Jacques Derrida, meaning in the West is defined in terms of binary oppositions, “a violent hierarchy” where “one of the two terms governs the other.” Within the white/ black binary opposition in the United States, the African American is defined as a devalued other.

An example of a binary opposition is the male-female dichotomy. A post-structuralist view is that male can be seen, according to traditional Western thought, as dominant over female because male is the presence of a phallus, while the vagina is an absence or loss. John Searle has suggested that the concept of binary oppositions—as taught and practised by postmodernists and poststructuralist—is specious and lacking in rigour.

Within my music video I want to show that females are equal to the male population and I want to show that females are not always the weak and vulnerable and that vulnerability can also affect men as they too are only human and are subject to emotions and all of life's other mysteries that may not be so easy to deal with.

"A major theme of post structuralism is instability in the human sciences, due to the complexity of humans themselves and the impossibility of fully escaping structures in order to study them."

Personally I think this quote is really important as it shows how theory and the implication of ideas and theories has an impact upon  the audience and the type of audience and how each person is different.
