Thinking activity on Derrida and Deconstruction
1. What do you understand by Deconstruction ? ( Remember : if you think you understand , you don't )
Derrida said about infinite play of meaning . We get only illusion , not final meaning of word . Meaning is something in mind. We assume that we understand actually stopped asking question on the meaning of the word. We never get final meaning but postpone it. So if we think we understand the things , we don't because language is constructed by full of figurative componants.
We can say that literature creates multiplicity of meaning . It creates a kind of ambivalence . Language is not transparent medium of communication , mistaken of singnifier for signified creates aesthetic illusion. De - constructive writing is most of the time ,' auto- critical ' questions itself , ongoing. Derrida critiques the whole tendency that language as speech rather than writing . Derrida wants to transformed the way people think by idea of Deconstruction.
2. Read an ad or TV serial or film or literary text as post structuralist critic , be brief , precise and to the point.
In this advertisement of chocolate " munch munchification " we find content is that after eating the chocolate the character who is very poor in speaking English , by practice also he not able to prove it , but after eating the chocolate he fluently speaks english and become famous all around him.
Another thing we find that is by speaking English , he wants to try to impress the girl.
So we can say that for any success in life , we needed hardwork and practice . After eating the chocolate or such a thing we would not able to prove our English or can't become talented in anything. We can say that is stereotype or cultural archytype rooted in minds of people.another thing is also that if they would speaking English , girl will easily impressed by them. So Deconstruction is that such a add create a concept that the impossible things will be possible after eating munch munchification chocolate.
2. Example of movie " ki & ka "
As per our social structure or custom that woman have to work as housewife and husband have to do job and earning money. In this movie we find hero wanted to maintain the house and heroine wanted to do job , this thing create a problem for society that they will not accept this thing.
In one scene we find that hero' s father tell him that , " If women will earn money and you will enjoy them people will tell you " Namard " so called narrowness of thought. He said that woman is responsibility of man and he have to take care of her. If he would not work outside the home then it would be considered as a shameful act for him.
So we can say that patriarchy in our society at every stage. It is difficult to remove it , the same thinking process rooted in minds of people. So it can deconstructed that patriarchy remaining major issue of society.
