Thinking activity of Deconstruction

''Deconstruction''this term itself is very difficult to understand because it has not crystal clear definition.Deconstruction means a close and critical reading of a written text.and It is a practice of reading which questions and claim to 'Subvert' or 'Undermine' the assumption regarding system of language.

Jacques Derrida says about Deconstruction that it can not be defined

''What Deconstruction ? Nothing of Course''

-Jacques Derrida.

As per my understanding,post structuralism is the reaction again the structuralism because post structuralist believe into decentralized center means that there are many ways to read literary texts not any particular ways.so, we can say that text has no meaning but readers give it to the text.we have example of ''Bat'' which is discussed in our class.so,one who tries to find the center of the text,actually he/she will go far way from the center because words have no particular meaning.Meaning is convicted and everyday it goes on changing.so Derrida says that,

''Each and every text is read as event and

events can be read with different perspective .''

Post Structuralist critic views that there is no 'a textual origin' of text.if here give the example of different movies like Mardaani and other which are come out the idea of deconstruction of male dominance.

Derrida says that some text can not be read in the same way.He also talks about free play of meaning,that any word can be used for words.For Example -In Movie ''Munnabhai M.B.B.S'' It is one aspect of critic based on it is Non violence and Gandhian thought but other aspect of that movie we also realize violence.

Other example of Movie ''Three Idiots'' first aspect of the people it is genre of comedy but it is satire on education system.

Phonocentrism and Logocentrism is also the most important part to understand the deconstruction.Deconstruction gives the new way to read text with decentralizing center means , ''A Free Play of Meaning''.

Some more example of Ramayana and Mahabharata.and one play by T.P Kaillasam ''The purpose'' character of Ekalavya at the center of the play.

Thank you....

Respected Sir ,

Here ,my response in' Literary Theory of Structuralism'

Structuralism is a method of interpretation and analysis of aspects of human nature,behavior,Culture, and experience. In literary criticism is movement of structuralism was inaugurated in 1950 by cultural anthropologist like Claude levi strauss,however father of structuralism is Ferdinand de Saussure.

Definition of Structuralism:-

According to critic Pramod k Nayar: '' Structuralism is from of criticism which sought to understand a work of art in the context of structure''.

Language used to 'condition of mind (identity) , not to communicate.

Meanings ''given'' towords are:

1.Arbitrary

2 Conventional

3 Relational

4 Constructive / constructed

Ferdinand Se assure use two way of words looking at Context of Language:-

1. Diachronic – Looking at words in Etimology of words and begning and start up in words.

2.Syn chronic – Looking at word in todays words meanings.

Application of Structuralism;-

1.Archetypes

2.Narratology- Gerard Genette

3.Codes- Rolad Bathes

< 1 > The proairetic Code- Indications of Actionsand resolution

<2> The hermenutic Code – indication of narrative suspens and anigma ,puzzle,unanswer.

<3> The Cultural code -It Traditionaly and stereotypes

<4> The semic code -It is also called ''Connotative code''sumgling and hidden meaning.

<5> The symbolic code- it is a binary code.like midnight /daytime.

Most of hindi films or literature are same example like Boy and Girl love each other but family is against it , or vice versa of family. We also find the binary opposition in every where like Good /Evil, Male /Female,God /Satan,White /Black, etc.

You can know that most of films and T.V Serial based on Structuralism and narratology. PK and OMG are based in structure and narratology. ''Savdhan India Fights back '' has the same idea to present in a sequence.No doubt there is long duration of that but yet stricly follow the pattern of three -Begning,,middle and end.
