Deconstruction and Derrida

 Thinking activity on Deconstruction



Derrida used deconstruction, but he can not finally define deconstruction.

➲But we have question that why deconstruction is very difficult? Or it is a negative term.


➧ Derrida becomes very difficult to read and that is the one reason, why deconstruction was difficult idea to define or to understand.

Derrida also says that deconstruction is not destructive activity, but an inquiry in to the causes of intellectual system, it is one impreasion not negative impression.

➤ Binay Oppositions which gives us worldview. Derrida point out that western philosophy is built on the different binary oppositions, like human language is built upon differences as Saussure point out.


➧Derrida combines two terms: differ and defer. In French one word is used to imply both. Derrida drawing attention towards difference between speech and writing.
The word Difference, if we write it with A
Diffarance and with E, we can never pronounce it differently, we can only spell it differently. Derrida questions privilege of speech over writing.


Here I'm giving the example of binary opposition through this video, in this video we can find that father wants to a son to get better life style, and another oppositions like light skin and dark skin. Boys are superior and daughters are inferior. Idea of white skin is also deconstructing which is shown by fair n lovely.  So, deconstruction is breaking the idea of superior or inferior, light and dark.

Thank you...
