Deconstruction

well our project was interesting to say the least. i'm glad that it's done. some other things on deconstruction that we didn't get to in class.

deconstruction is a logocentric literary theory.

it highlights the conflicts in texts and the devices used to claim legitimate and truthful status

"establishes a hierarchy of significance from binary oppositions"
- something about one word in a binary being the norm and the other a deviation.

deconstructionists were literary snobs claiming certain work as lisable=readable, illisable=not readable, and scriptable=writable

deconstruction is not about fixing a meaning but to relate texts to each other and locate aporia=impasse of meaning between them.
- um... find the differences in meaning.
