For better results try using these search strategies when necessary:
|
Wildcard: The query behavi?r finds the behavior or behaviour. Truncation: The query organiz*= organization, organize, organizational Put a phrase in “quotes”. For example, “Binary Oppositions”. |
Use Boolean Operators to narrow or expand a search, and exclude irrelevant results. For example: media AND violence, teens OR adolescents, psychology NOT clinical |
Examples of keywords/concepts: good/evil, black/white, night/day, male/female "Deconstruction is a way of reading that looks for places where the structure gets shaken up, where more play - more ambiguity of meaning - occurs, where the binary opposites don't stay neatly on their proper side of the slash." |
| Philosophers: Jacques Derrida, Paul de Man, Geoffrey Hartman, Michael Foucault | Writers: Roland Barthes, Julia Kristeva | Artists: Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, Sherrie Levine |
