A closer reading of Derrida’s argument here reveals a more complex relation between these two major movements in French thought and in critical theory generally. \n  \n\nReadings to be discussed are listed below and are available on the ECT site: \n\nJacques Derrida\, “Structure\, Sign\, and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences” in Writing and Difference\nJonathan Culler\, Structuralist Poetics\, chapters 10 and 11\n\n  \n  \n\nAbout the Speaker\nJonathan Culler (BA. Harvard; B.Phil and D.Phil\, Oxford) came to Cornell in 1977 as Professor of English and Comparative Literature and in 1982 succeeded M.H. Abrams in the Class of 1916 Chair.  He is the author of Flaubert: The Uses of Uncertainty (1974) and numerous books on contemporary critical theory and literature\, including Ferdinand de Saussure (1976)\, The Pursuit of Signs (1981)\, On Deconstruction (1983)\, Barthes (2002)\, The Literary in Theory (2006)\, and Theory of the Lyric (2015). His Structuralist Poetics: Structuralism\, Linguistics\, and the Study of Literature (1975)\, which we will be reading selections from\, won MLA’s Lowell Prize.  He has served as Secretary of the American Council of Learned Societies\, President of the American Comparative Literature Association\, and Chair of the New York Council for the Humanities\, and he has been elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, the American Philosophical Society\, and the British Academy. \n\n\n  \nAbout the Program in Experimental Critical Theory\nThe focus of the 2025-2026 Experimental Critical Theory seminar (COM LIT250)\, taught by Professor Eleanor Kaufman\, is “Structure.”
