Deconstruction
"Deconstruction peels away the layers of ideological obscuration, exposing the conflict that has been suppressed; the 'devalued other is made visible.'"
"Deconstructing Organizational Taboos: The Suppression of Gender Conflict in Organizations" by Joanne Martin gives a definition of deconstruction that is easy to imagine. She plainly states that deconstruction is a form of critical thinking that unearths arguments that are rarely challenged. In addition to that, it uses the same text to show that it contradicts itself. She gives a definition applicable to the text in which she writes. However, J. Hillis Miller gives a more general definition. He says, “Deconstruction is not a dismantling of the structure of a text, but a demonstration that it has already dismantled itself. Its apparently-solid ground is no rock, but thin air."
This is a picture of smashing a nut. It illustrates the meaning John D. Caputo renders: "Whenever deconstruction finds a nutshell—a secure axiom or a pithy maxim—the very idea is to crack it open and disturb this tranquility. Indeed, that is a good rule of thumb in deconstruction. That is what deconstruction is all about, its very meaning and mission, if it has any. One might even say that cracking nutshells is what deconstruction is. In a nutshell"
