In recent decades, poststructuralism and feminism have become prominent. This chapter treats both. The coupling is not as odd as it may seem, because the two are in fact related: poststructuralism entailed a rejection of structuralism but also a new and more subtle reading of the phenomenon. One of the key ideas in both is an understanding of power relations. They come to the fore in understanding gender and also among poststructuralist thinkers like Derrida, Foucault, and Bourdieu.
