Deconstruction - Derrida

"Structure sign and play in the Discourse of the Human sciences".

Deconstruction is a theory and pactice 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 meaning of literary text.
Derrida combines two characteristics of the language mentioned above :
"The arbitariness or the tendency to defer the ultimate and final meaning, and the systematic differentiality of, language and coins a new term "differance" the tendency or the force of language to defer and differ that is intrinsic to language."
The new term is a pun, and is possible in French as the word differer can mean either to differ or to defer, depending on context and Derrida's assertion that deconstruction is not something that you do, but something which happens to text implies that it is the force of 'difference' which is the part of the production and signification of binaries and their subversion and the resultant aporia, rather than a person, school or a historical period causing it.

For example:
The movie's (Kambakt Isq) title song :"Kambakt Isq" is full deconstructed.
