Q.1) What do you understand by ‘Deconstruction’? (Remember: If you think you understand Deconstruction, you don’t )
We can not
define Deconstruction because Derrida himself refuse to define the term
Deconstruction. Jacques Derrida himself doesn’t define it. The deconstruction
is the theory of reading which question and claims that the system of language
provides grounds that the adequate to establish the boundaries. Deconstruction
is not a destructive activity, but it is an inquiry into the foundation of
everything. Post structuralist critics go deep into the foundation of text and
then they try to undermine it. Deconstructionist says that the work is made of
words and words have no definite meaning. It is the reader who creates meaning
words can’t give meaning. Derrida deconstructs the metaphysics of presence.
There is nothing like truth apart from language. He tries to prove that the
structurality of the structure does not indicate the presence, its free play of
sign.
