Satire's Club: Reality, Reason, And Knowledge In Joseph Andrews, Heather Anne Law Davis
Theses Digitization Project
Satire has been credited with possessing the power to deconstruct the distinctions we make between opposing concepts and thus lead us to reevaluate established views. Structuralist Ferdinand de Saussure claimed that language relies on sets of opposites, or binary pairs, to create meaning.
