DECONSTRUCTION PRESENTATION
Example:
Christmas direct: not a Christmas tree=> just markings on the board
deconstruction Position
Deconstruction is a form of criticism developed by Jacques Derrida
Criticism stresses multiple meanings of the text and contradiction
No primal truth; no correct, privileged, or accept readings
Constant wordplay in which meanings of words are constantly changing to bring new meaning to a text
nought is correct or wrong
Anarchy: having no order
Deconstruction is not synonymous with destruction, however. It is in fact much appressed to the original meaning of the word analysis itself, which etymologically means to undo -- a virtual synonym for to de-construct. ... If anything is destroyed in a deconstructive reading, it is not the text, but the claim to unequivocal domination of one expressive style of signifying over another. A deconstructive reading is a reading which analyses the specificity of a texts critical difference from itself.

It can contradict itself; cannot follow its major preface where there are no privileged readings because it must tell apart privileged readings in order to disprove/ invalidate them
lawless; easy to observe lost in the meaning of a work of literature using deconstruction
