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.

Online discussion Mario Vargas Llosa's Interview

Mario Vargas Llosa the Peruvian novelist, was awarded the nobal prize for literature in 2010. His most recent novel is The Neighbourhood. He was interviewed for the wordpost by Michael Skafidas, a journalist and professor of comparative literature at the city University of new York. So Here I am sharing the ideas which l like the most from his interview. 1. I like one line that "If you respect literature you must accept not only the very idealist, altruist vision of human beings but also the infernal vision of them" when you say that I love literature and I respect literature, at that time you may accept some work of literature which is ldealist. In our literature there are many novels and plays which are based on feminist approach. For example in the Interview, he give one example, Nabokov's "Lolita", 20th century novel.
