It's denotes a deconstructivist perspective of postmodernist nihilistic analyses of constructivism and the postsemantic paradigm of consensus.

Of course.

This is about as clear an explanation as can be offered.

From the Chiff & Fipple FAQ:

Q: How about "PostStructural"? You call it "Chiff & Fipple: The PostStructural Tinwhistle Internet Experience"

A: Right.

Q: What does that mean?

A: What does what mean?

Q: "PostStructural".

A: Well, uh, you know what they say: If you have to ask, you don't know. Hehehe.

Q: WHAT?

A: Well..."poststructural," of course, means, uh, "after 'structural'." Or after the structure. Let's move on.

Q: You don't know do you?

A: No. I just thought it sounded kinda funny and pretentious. That's what I'm about mostly.

And you did, in a deeply poststructural way. You can't fool me.

At first I thought it was just a clever way of getting stst together in one word. Then I thought it was a clever way of forming a word that is only properly pronounceable if said slowly by an extremely sober and articulate person. Before that I thought it was something to do with the way stand-alone pillar-boxes are designed.

Real poststructuralists deny "meaning" itself. All "meaning" is transitory, provisional, and arbitrary.

POst structuralism is what happens when dadaists take over the academy and utter straight-faced nonsense.

And here I thought it referred to tweaking whistles (poststructural = after the
whistle is originally built)... Kinda like using "after-market" parts on your car.
