Hello readers,

Q- 1. What do you understand by 'Deconstruction'? ( Remember : if you think you understand Deconstruction, you don't. )
A-1. “What deconstruction is not? Everything of course! What is deconstruction? Nothing of course!”Jacques Derrida Letter to a Japanese Friend Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) whose name is associated with the term ‘deconstruction’ is one of the most renowned and prolific philosophers of the twentieth century. Derrida refuses to define the term 'Deconstruction' by saying that you can not define anything for once and all. It is almost impossible to define Deconstruction.As per Derrida,“Each and every text is read as event and events can be read with different perspective.”
Deconstruction is not exactly a destructive activity or breaking down something. You inquired into the foundations of something.
Q-2. Read an ad or TV serial or Film or literary text as post-structuralist critic.
A-2 I would like to give an example of the film Pink. This film is an unusual story which focuses on the rights of women- especially the right to say "NO" or "enough is enough".
As a Post Structuralist critic, I find that even though the film is based on feminist approach, there is a male actor in lead role. so while deconstructing we can inquire that why there is need of an established male actor in a feminist film? The very quick answer we get is market. People will not watch the film in same amount if there won't be a strong male actor.
We can find binary oppositions too in this film. Male is previleged over female. There are three girls in this film and they are economically independent, drinking and coming late night at home from work. Society considers them as prostitute because of their lifestyle whereas on the contrary such lifestyle is considered normal.
