What Remains After Structure Collapses

The Deeper Thinking Podcast

This episode enters the elegant collapse of structuralism. What begins as a system of oppositions—raw and cooked, myth and meaning, structure and freedom—slowly unravels across nine recursive movements. Through Lévi-Strauss, Bateson, Sartre, Rubin, Derrida, Levinas, Wynter, and Glissant, the essay traces not a theory, but its residue.

It does not explain. It listens. It does not resolve. It disturbs. It follows a structure until it can no longer hold, and then it listens to what flickers after: silence, relation, and the right to opacity.

Why Listen?

• Learn how structuralism framed cognition through oppositions
• See how poststructuralism undoes clarity from within
• Feel the shift from pattern to residue, from system to echo
