Darwin and Derrida: Cognitive Literary Theory as a Species of Post-Structuralism, by Ellen Spolsky

Ellen Spolsky (2002, 56) writes that “nothing could be more adaptationist, more Darwinian than deconstruction and poststructuralism, since both understand structuration... as an activity that happens within and in response to a specific environment.” Her assertion is consistent with the assumption of neuroaesthetics [Chap. 2: Neuroaesthetics on this Timespace] that human aesthetic preferences reflect evolutionary adaptations.
