Abstract Details

2013, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, English (Arts and Sciences).
Derrida's most well known theoretical work Of Grammatology often comes under fire from critics as being "frivolous," "playful," or "playing language games." In my thesis I will argue that this is a misinterpretation of Derrida's work, exploring the implications of the his concept of arche-violence, and the role the originary violence of language plays in oppression. Exploring various theoretical schools of thought from a Derridean lens, I will highlight the ways that arche-violence poses a real problem in the lives of oppressed peoples
