Which among the following pairs is not correctly matched ?

  • A.Giddens - Structuration
  • B.Derrida - Deconstruction
  • C.Habermas - Neo-Marxism
  • D.Alexander - Structuralism

Answer: D

The wrongly matched pair is Alexander - Structuralism.

Jeffrey Alexander is the leading figure of neo-functionalism, the 1980s attempt to revive and revise Parsons's structural-functional theory. Structuralism, the study of underlying structures of language and myth, is associated with Saussure and Levi-Strauss.

The other three pairs are correct. Anthony Giddens developed structuration theory, Jacques Derrida developed deconstruction, and Jurgen Habermas, of the Frankfurt School's second generation, is usually classed as a neo-Marxist critical theorist.
