Binary Oppositions

In the mid-20th century, two major European academic thinkers, Claude LeviStrauss and Roland Barthes, had the important insight that the way weunderstand certain words depends not so much on any meaning theythemselves directly contain, but much more by our understanding of thedifference between the word and its 'opposite' or, as they called it 'binary

opposite'. They realised that words merely act as symbols for society's ideasand that the meaning of words, therefore, was a relationship rather than afixed thing: a relationship between opposing ideas.

For example, our understanding of the word 'coward' surely depends on thedifference between that word and its opposing idea, that of a 'hero' (and tocomplicate matters further, a moment's thought should alert you to the factthat interpreting words such as 'hero' and 'coward' is itself much more to do

with what our society or culture attributes to such words than any meaning thewords themselves might actually contain).

Other oppositions that should help you understand the idea are the youth/agebinary, the masculinity/femininity, the good/evil binary, and so on. Barthes andLevi-Strauss noticed another important feature of these 'binary opposites': thatone side of the binary pair is always seen by a particular society or culture asmore valued over the other.
