"Poststructuralism and Communication brings together for the first time books, book chapters, and journal articles that discuss the impact of poststructuralist philosophy on all aspects of human communication. A wide array of humanities and social science disciplines have been forced to acknowledge and adjust to the various views advanced by poststructuralism: knowledge and truth do not exist independently but are instead created by discourse; objectivity is not possible - everything is interpretation; writing is the rhetorical equal of speech; philosophy and literature are just alternative forms of writing; and everything is text."--Jacket.
