Dualism
The ontological division of a domain into two discrete categories (dichotomies) or polarities. 'Binarism' is a more loaded term which critics have applied to what they regard as the obsessive dualism of structuralists such as Lévi-Strauss and Jakobson. Hjelmslev argued against binarism. Derridean deconstruction demonstrates the inescapability of binary logic.
