| | Deconstruction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | According to deconstructive readers, one of the phallogocentrisms of modernism is the distinction between speech (logos) and writing, with writing historically being thought of as derivative to logos. | | | While there are numerous left-leaning political forces at work within postmodernism as a whole, deconstructive writers such as Derrida argued that deconstruction is not simply political. | | | While there is no doubting that principal figures associated with deconstruction in France have been "leftist" in their political positions, Heidegger's place in deconstruction complicates matters considerably, as do the politics of Paul de Man in early adulthood. |

| | Lupton/Miller: Deconstruction |
| | Deconstruction has lived in a variety of institutional worlds, from university literature departments to schools of art and design to the discourse of popular journalism, where it has functioned both as a critical activity and as a banner for a range of styles and attitudes. | | | Deconstruction's attack on the neutrality of signs is also at work in the consumer mythologies of Barthes, the institutional archaeologies of Foucault, and the simulationist aesthetics of Baudrillard. | | | In the realm of aesthetics, the original work of art traditionally has carried an aura of authenticity that its copy lacks, and the telling of a story or the taking of a photograph is viewed as a passive record of events. |

| | Jacques Derrida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Despite this apparent contradiction, the literary sensibilities of Derrida cannot be ignored, as many of his own deconstructions were of poems and literary texts. | | | More broadly, his work is often associated with post-structuralism and postmodernism, although Derrida never used the latter term, and other scholars within deconstruction such as Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe have characterized themselves as modernist rather than postmodern in tendency. | | | The conference was also of personal note to Derrida, being where he met Paul de Man, who would be a close friend and source of great controversy, as well as where he first met the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, with whose work Derrida enjoyed a mixed relationship. |

| | Deconstruction: School of philosophy and literary criticism forged in the writings of the French philosopher Jacques Derrida and the Belgium/North American literary critic Paul De Man. | | | Deconstruction: A school of philosophy that originated in France in the late 1960s, has had an enormous impact on Anglo-American criticism. | | | Deconstruction: Rarely has a critical theory attracted the sort of dread and hysteria that deconstruction has incited since its inception in 1967. |

| | Being Just with Deconstruction |
| | If Derrida is not contending that his deconstruction offers a better way of looking at the relation between speech and writing, or better describes their most central and important features, it is hard to understand why he made his argument in the first place. | | | A second possibility would be that deconstruction seeks to efface the distinction between the two terms of a conceptual opposition. | | | This rhetorical use of Deconstruction is always and necessarily partial and incomplete. |

| | Deconstruction |
| | Especially in his early work, Derrida plays with the rhetoric of response and the idea of response without accusation, aiming to respond to the problems of the texts he examines in a manner appropriate to his theory and, at the same time, aiming to stretch his audience. | | | Given the premises and goals of a deconstructive reading of a text, we can question the status of a straightforward critical essay. | | | But his playful style is not just a result of literary perversity. |

| | Derrida & Deconstruction: Key Points, W. Hedges SOU |
| | I think it's a mistake to treat deconstruction as synonymous with post-structuralism (and, while, I'm drawing distinctions, to conflate post-structuralism with Postmodernism). | | | Making blanket statements about his thought or influence is not something I'm willing to venture. | | | As someone who did undergraduate work in creative writing, I also appreciate the way his writing refuses to accept a distinction between "literature" and "criticism." |

| | Deconstruction |
| | Deconstruction's suggestion of the critic's complicity with dominant social formations has translated in the decades following Derrida's work into the pedagogical responsibilities of colonial, postcolonial, and transnational cultural studies of imperialism and the struggle for decolonization. | | | Spivak, again, points toward deconstruction's limitations in conceptualizing and sustaining an engagement with the politics of domination. | | | Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, a leading postcolonial critic, uses deconstruction to problematize the privileged, academic postcolonial critic's unknowing participation in the exploitation of the Third World. |

| | The songs, most of which clock in at somewhere near the six-minute mark, are elaborately constructed tone poems that unfold in a loopy, nonlinear manner characterized by abrupt instrumental mood swings. | | | Upon the demise of Jane's Addiction, bassist/vocalist Eric Avery and guitarist/vocalist Dave Navarro formed Deconstruction, setting out on a decidedly more musically exploratory venture. | | | Typical of Deconstruction's mercurial musical nature is "L.A. Song," which begins with tastefully mysterious acoustic guitar and portentous lyrics. |

| | Nick Szabo -- Hermeneutics |
| | Deconstruction in its "postmodern" construction is usually applied to ferret out a bias one wants to remove, and has tended to get mixed up in the literature alongside criticism of those biases. | | | But deconstruction in its original sense is not a criticism at all, it is simply a theory about how traditions evolve, namely via the accumulation of constructions, along with a methodology for ferreting out constructions that have for some other reason been deemed to be undesired. | | | This creates a clearing for the original intent to shine through and reignite itself in cyberspace. |

| | In fact, major exponents of hermeneutics and deconstruction, like Martin Heidegger and | | | That Logical Positivism itself could not be thus verified, and so could not be meaningful, seemed to escape their notice for decades, even though Wittgenstein had already seen the problem by the end of his Tractatus. | | | But deconstructionists are "post-structuralists," in which the structure of language is itself "deconstructed." If reference and truth disappeared for de Saussure, then, in truth, even meaning disappears for the deconstructionists -- the real consequence of any text meaning anything. |

| | In general, deconstruction is a philosophy of meaning, which deals with the ways that meaning is constructed by writers, texts, and readers. | | | In addition to philosophy and literary theory, the techniques and ideas of deconstruction have been employed by scholars in history, sociology, educational theory, linguistics, art, and architecture. | | | Nevertheless, deconstruction, especially as articulated in Derrida's writings and as promoted by Paul de Man and others, has had a profound effect on many fields of knowledge in American universities, particularly during the 1970s and 80s. |

Ellis tried to be seen as a new, original interesting proponent against deconstruction, but his own arsenal of tools betrayed his enterprise. | | | And yet, after having read recently Professor Ellis's *Against Deconstruction,* an absolutely withering critique of the titular adversary by any sensible measure, I wonder how deconstruction managed to survive, in whole or in part, nearly a decade into the early twenty-first century. |

| | Reversal is a valuable move, but deconstruction is after bigger game, because it "deconstructs" the underlying hierarchy. | | | In general, as Jonathan Culler puts it, deconstruction works "within an opposition," but "upsets [its] hierarchy by producing an exchange of properties." This disrupts not only the hierarchy, but the opposition itself. | | | Deconstruction doesn't simply reverse the opposition, nor does it destroy it. |
