Deconstruction

1. "As J. Hillis Miller puts it, "deconstruction is not a dismantling of a text but a demonstration that it has already dismantled itself." According to Culler, "a deconstruction involves the demonstration that a hierarchical opposition, in which one term is said to be dependent upon another conceived as prior, is in fact a rhetorical or metaphysical imposition and that the hierarchy could well be reversed." Hence the deconstructionist emphasis on the marginal and supplementary. " - Greg Henderson and Christopher Brown.

 

2. The quote basically describes deconstruction as a word or a text that is already broken down. But at the same time, it isn't. On one hand, you have one answer to a question. On another set of hands you several answers and interpretations to the answer.

 

3.The pictures shows workers dismantling the unknown. Ironically at the same time, it looks as if it is also being constructed.
