Derrida's Deconstruction

 
Derrida's Deconstruction Thinking Activity:

Deconstruction is a theory which is given by Jacques Derrida. In the criticism of literature, Deconstruction is a theory and practice 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 a literary text.It is not distructive activity but inquiry into the foundations of everything.There is something first crumble down and then something is new built.Derridean way of thinking is to qewstion "Origin of Origin". In derridean Deconstruction he tallks on some perticular points or theory's like Logocentricism and Phonocentricism,Binary appositions, Trace of Meaning, Free play of meaning, supplimentrarity, undecidability of meaning, decentering the center, Metaphysics of present. 

    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 privilage over male, in serial like "Sath Nibhana sathiya" or "Sasural simer ka" . If we take another idea of 'Origion of origion" then we find that there is one bollywood movie; which is based on one historical story in which the origanal story is differant and movie makers are modifiying the history, so here derridean way of thinking is 'Question to 'Origin of Origin". so here is origanal myth is Deconstructed and then new story is built up.

 For example someone tells a person that “Hey! Today you are looking really good you know.”

Then that person doesn’t take it normally but goes beyond in the meaning and takes out a different (hidden message) meaning by this and instead of thanking the first person for the compliment he would say “Ohh! What is that supposed to mean? You mean to say that I’m looking good ‘today only’? Does that mean I don’t look good every day? You mean to say I look ugly every day?”

More in a comic way if we take an example of an Indian couple, the husband compliments the food that today’s dinner was so tasty, so his wife would go angry and say that so you meant to say I don’t cook good every day? (As if the wives have learned Derridian theory already!)

This is the pretty much convincing and easy example to understand deconstruction’s theory. But still we are talking about Derrida and his "Deconstruction" here, Derrida is difficult Philosopher to read and his term "Deconstruction" is even more difficult to understand. If we say that we understood this completely then we should deconstruct our own thoughts again that do we actually reach the half of what Derrida is saying?
