This document is a lecture outline on poststructuralism and discourse analysis in anthropology. It discusses moving beyond structuralism to understand how meaning emerges through ongoing cultural exchange and interpretation, rather than being fixed by analytical structures. Examples are provided of poststructuralist analyses of Bedouin poetry, Malaysian rock music, Ju/hoansi complaints, and debates around authenticity and change in Singaporean culture. The key ideas are that culture and meaning are dynamic processes, not static structures, and that humans play an active role in shaping cultures through discourse and practice over time.
