Deconstruction by Jacques Derrida..
Here I am giving an answer of the given thinking activity on Post-Structuralism or Deconstruction...
1) What do you understand by 'Deconstruction'? (Remember: if you think you understand Deconstruction, you don't. :)).
Deconstruction is term given by Jaques Derrida and he was the most influential philosopher in70s and 80s of last century..His philosophy is the further extension of structuralism and is better called as Post-Structuralism...
Deconstruction is a very difficult to understand, because Derrida himself denied to define what is the actual meaning of Deconstruction..
Deconstruction,is the theory of reading which questions and claims to "Subvert" or "undermine" the assumption that the system of language provides grounds that are adequate to establish the boundaries,the coherence or unity and the determinate meanings of a literary text..
In simple language,we can say that, Deconstruction is to break some ideas, myth or any kind of belief..Deconstruction is not only for the sake of breaking something it is to ask different questions to the text and trying to find new meanings of text. It is also about the decentering the center. Structuralist critic will read the text against itself so as to expose what might be thought of as the 'textual
subconscious', where meanings are expressed which may be directly contrary to the surface meaning.
2) Read an ad or TV serial or Film or literary text as post-structuralist critic. Be brief, precise and to the point.
