Summary/Abstract: "The works of poststructuralist thinkers such as Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida have had challenging effects on feminist literary criticism. The death of the author, the critique of author function as a particular modality of restricting meaning, and the critique of logocentrism have undermined the theoretical foundations of gynocritics, the literary criticism that focuses on women’s literary tradition."
