The Idea of Deconstruction: An Overview

Dr. Naveen Kumar Jha

Abstract :

The concept of ‘Deconstruction‘ by Derrida in “Of Grammatology is against logo–centric semantic interpretation of a text. He believes in the idea of the exteriority of meaning which ings out many possibilities of meaning of the text by means of deconstruction of the text. Meaning cannot be defined as a static reality; it evolves from the negotiation an interrogation among competing constituents and has several shadows of meaning being termed as ‘Differance ‘. Derrida was under influence of structuralist semantic idea of Ferdinand de Saussure, Roland Barthes, Jacques Lacan and Claude Lévi–Strauss. Derrida takes texts as being construed of elemental oppositions. They are to be articulate for making out meaning. So identity is to be taken a non–essentialist one being termed as a construct and construct produces meaning through the interplay of difference inside a "system of distinct signs".
