CLAUD LEVI-STRAUSS
Saw any text as constructed out of recognisable "debris" from other texts. Texts produced throughout the process used either:
- Addition
- Deletion
- Substitution
FRACTURED IDENTITY
- Certainties of class, gender, place (etc) fade
- Emphasis on lifestyle means that identity is dynamic
- Globalisation and the internet
- Ethnicity, race, sexuality, age (etc) are recognised as significant
IMAGE RICH
- Style over substance
- Hyper-reality
- Representations dominate
- SIMULACRA: the idea that everything is a copy
- Boundaries between high and low culture are no longer fixed
