| | Literary Encyclopedia: Binary Oppositions |
 | | Essentially, the concept of the binary opposition is engendered by the Western propensity to organize everything into a hierarchical structure; terms and concepts are related to positives or negatives, with no apparent latitude for deviation: i.e. |  | | Thus, the binary opposition is fundamentally a structurally derived notion which acknowledges the human inclination to think antagonistically. |  | | As one commentator astutely notes, Woman is the opposite, the other of man: she is non-man, defective man, allocated a predominantly negative worth in relation to the male primary element. |

| | Binary Opposition |
 | | Binary oppositions are words and concepts that a community of people generally regards as being 'opposed' to each other. |  | | Consider which elements in these oppositions are privileged by the classic western story. |  | | The elements of a text are often structured around a pair of concepts such as nature/culture, masculine / feminine, mind / body. |

 | | She envisions a sexuality and a system based on excess and plurality, one in which females and males relate to one another directly; a sexuality and system that is limitless in scope, fluid in practice, ever-changing and ever-expanding. |  | | ...the opposition "virile" clitoral activity/"feminine" vaginal passivity which Freud--and many others--claims are alternative behaviors or steps in the process of becoming a sexually normal woman, seems prescribed more by the practice of masculine sexuality than by anything else. |  | | Yet, Freud himself separates the female sexual organs into at least two parts, the clitoris, which he views as a little penis and the vagina, which is simply a hole that the penis goes into in order to facilitate ejaculation. |

| | The Uses of Binary Thinking |
 | | This binary tradition is still strong and forms a kind of foundation for the many varieties of structuralism. |  | | Binary thinking seems to be the path of least resistance for the perceptual system, for thinking, and for linguistic structures. |  | | A fundamental principle of structural and semiotic analysis is that elements of a text do not have intrinsic meaning as autonomous entities but derive their significance from oppositions which are in turn related to other oppositions in a process of theoretically infinite semiosis. |

| | "The Politics of Deconstruction", by Barbara Foley |
 | | It will, presumably, be replaced by another binary opposition, such as the contradiction between humanity and nature, or between consciousness and materiality. |  | | Deconstruction is chided for its separation from practice, its shallow conception of "opposition," its eradication of a purposive subject, its celebration of impotence-all very valid points. |  | | I would propose, first, that Derrida's refusal to ''transcend'' binary opposition leads to a re-fetishization of the very metaphysical pain to operations that it has taken such pains to defetishize. |

 | | Rather, we explore this discursive operation of binary opposition, presented as a "choice of languages." The practice of what is commonly referred to as "traditional" or "unaccompanied" singing in Ireland is often represented as if singers have before them the "choice" of two radically-distinct and symbolically-disparate linguistic traditions. |  | | The binary opposition is clearly established, the two traditions are presented as radically distinct, undoubtedly separate. |  | | By a process of occlusion and exclusion, the two-traditions hypothesis is categorically asserted, the essential primacy of the Gaelic song tradition upheld. |

 | | These binary pairs are the "structures," or fundamental opposing ideas, that Derrida is concerned with in Western philosophy. |  | | First is that we're still going to look at systems or structures, rather than at individual concrete practices, and that all systems or structures have a CENTER, the point of origin, the thing that created the system in the first place. |  | | Each term has meaning only in reference to the other (light is what is not dark, and vice-versa), just as, in Saussure's view, signifiers only have meaning--or negative value--in relation to other signifiers. |

| | INTRODUCTION |
 | | This dissertation will present a theory of phases through which feminist disruptions of binary oppositions in selected literary works occur, providing examples of the literature that manifests these phases, and demonstrating how such a theory advances the feminist struggle to end the subjugation of women. |  | | Such concepts as the unconscious or the lack are recurring ones in psychoanalytic theory that is dependent upon the distinctions made between conscious and unconscious and other such binary distinctions like self/other, or symbolic/imaginary. |  | | While many feminists are working towards this disruption through their work, the need arises for us to attempt to formulate a method by which this work comes together in order to effect a more comprehensive way of changing the social framework that enables women’s oppression. |

 | | This is why Derrida's 'philosophy’ is so textually based and it is also why his key terms are always changing, because depending upon who or what he is seeking to deconstruct, that point of equivocation will always be located in a different place. |  | | Deconstruction is not purely negative, but it is primarily concerned with something tantamount to a ‘critique’ of the Western philosophical tradition, although this is generally staged via an analysis of specific texts. |  | | Derrida, like many other contemporary European theorists, is preoccupied with undermining the oppositional tendencies that have befallen much of the Western philosophical tradition. |

| | TRANS Nr. 15: Wendy Ashby (Tucson, AZ): Unmasking Narrative: A Semiotic Perspective on the ... |
 | | An understanding of the pairings of opposites is key to understanding both linguistic and cultural phenomena, forming a basis for structuralist linguistic theory, whereby "differences are systematized into 'oppositions' which are linked in crucial relationships" (Hawkes 1977: 22). |  | | However, departing from both Eco's and Illich's observations, it is argued that the products of the culture box are the result of a semiotic process that fundamentally and necessarily rests on a conviviality/non-conviviality dichotomy in which conviviality (or the appearance thereof) is achieved for the cultural minority, but only via non-convivial conditions for the minority. |  | | When speaking of the potential of semiotic processes to unlock the emancipatory, enlightening, demystifying, peacemaking potential that fosters the reconciliation of groups and peoples, two concepts fundamental to semiosis, yet diametrically opposed to genuine conciliation seem to have been either forgotten or underestimated. |

| | Binary opposition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The structuralist view has been criticized, however, by post-structuralists, who view the binary opposition not as a fundamental organizer of human thought worldwide, but as an artifact of Western thought. |  | | In critical theory, a binary opposition is a pair of theoretical opposites, often organized in a hierarchy. |  | | A classic example of a binary opposition is the rational-emotional dichotomy, of which the West imbues rational with a higher status than emotional. |

 | | A binary opposition is a pair of opposiites, thought by the Structuralists to powerfully form and organize human thought and culture. |  | | Another example of a contested binary opposition is rational vs emotional, in which the rational term is usually privileged and associated with men, while emotional is inferior and associated with women. |  | | Some are commonsense, such as raw vs cooked; however, many such oppositions imply or are used in such a way that privileges one of the terms of the opposition, creating a hierarchy. |

| | Reed Haslach: Binary Oppositions |
 | | For example, we view the concept of "Good" as we do because of the way it relates to the concept of "Evil." We are limited to understanding everything only as relative to something else. |  | | In practical, everyday usage, binary oppositions become problematic when one side of the binary is seen as "good" and the other as "bad." So, not only do binary oppositions limit our understanding of words and ideas, they are also dangerous tools, used to create neat, understandable categories, which actually do not promote thought at all. |  | | Derrida uses it as an example of all words, texts, and concepts--to show that there can never be only one interpretation of anything. |

 | | The distinction is that homosexuality is not a copy of a prior and original heterosexuality, but is an imitation which destabilizes the notion of copy and real, revealing all sexual identities to be performance, and heterosexuality to be a reiteration of certain idealized societal norms, rather than a natural, ideal sexuality. |  | | Her treatment of this binary opposition is similar to the way Derrida destabilizes the binary opposition of absence and presence with the concept of differance. |  | | Butler views this conception of sexuality, as something which cannot be known and cannot be contained, as a potential site of political resistance, and as a critique of certain aspects of identity politics. |
