What is Deconstruction ?

Derrida was one of the most widely revered and widely  reviled thinkers of the mid-to-late twentieth Century 

Deconstruction is a school of philosophy and literary criticism forged in the writings of the French philosopher Jacques Derrida. Deconstruction can perhaps best be

described as a theory of reading which aims to undermine the logic of opposition within Texts. For Derrida this requires a scrutiny of the essential distinctions and conceptual orderings which have been constructed by the dominant tradition of Western philosophy .

                             

                                           We can not define deconstruction. And that Derrida himself also accepts. It is not a destructive activity but it is for inquiring into the foundation of everything . So the Post - Structuralist goes deep into the work, and tries to look from different approaches. It is for  inquiring into the condition.

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.
 Deconstruction is not word and not belive in dictionary meaning as dictionary gives only another word or we can say it decentralised only another word for one word or we we can say it decentralised from center.

There are numbers of example on which we can apply this theory. For example if if i were a post structuralist critic, i would like to apply this theory on Ekta kapoor's serial's in which Female are privilege over male, in serial like "Sath Nibhana sathiya" or "Sasural simer ka" . 

If we take another idea of 'Origin of origin" then we find that there is  Bollywood movie "Padmavat". which is based on one historical story in which the original story is different and movie makers are modifying the history.

                                  so here Derrida way of thinking is 'Question to 'Origin of Origin". so here is original myth is Deconstructed and then new story is built up.

Here I would like gave example writers like Amish Tripathi’s book an attempt to retell Hindu mythology The Immortals of Meluha, The Secret of the Nagas & The Oath of the Vayuputras. So this is his Deconstruction upon Hindu mythical story .

if we take another key point of Derrida which is about "Binary apposition",

In this video we find Binary apposition of cold and fire, there is setting of this advertisement is cold place like Kashmir, an then that girl want to drink coco-cola, then at the end there is fire and Amir is moving around and speek "Thanda matlab coco-cola cokla" so that is how posibal, there were also cold ice.
