Jacques Derrida (6) - Signification

This video brings us to signification. We begin with a brief look at what Saussure had to say about signs and signification, before moving on to Derrida’s views on the two component parts of signs: the signified and the signifier. We close this video by looking at how what we have said about signification relates back to the concept of differance.
