Poststructuralism is essentially a discourse of modernism, not postmodernism

Evidence

The filiations between poststructuralism and Modernism are, however, less often observed, though, as Andreas Huyssen argues, ‘poststructuralism is much closer to mod­ ernism than is usually assumed by the advocates of postmodernism.’ Indeed, Huyssen goes on to make the stronger claim that ‘poststruc­ turalism is primarily a discourse of and about modernism. — Alex Callinicos, Against Postmodernism, 285

Categorization

• XREF: Directly counter-cites Jameson’s conflation of poststructuralism with postmodernism. Strong ammunition for the book’s explicit counterargument. Connects to reader’s Jameson reading. — connects to: Defining Postmodernism as internal to Modernism abandons its periodizing claim; Postmodernism fuses changes in the arts with poststructuralist philosophy — Alex Callinicos, Against Postmodernism: A Marxist…, 27; Postmodernism is a tendency within late modernism, not its successor — Aijaz Ahmad, In Theory: Nations, Classes, Literatures, 236 (+6 more)
• QUESTION: Worth chasing Huyssen’s original argument to see how it upends the standard postmodernism=poststructuralism equation the Marxist critique wants to disturb.
