Defining deconstruction

It is a way of reading texts with the intention of making such texts question themselves, forcing them to take account of their own contradictions, and expose the antagonism which they have ignored or repressed. It is therefore a way of questioning the claims of reflexive self-identity within text (because most text is embedded with fixed dominations). It is in fact a challenge to the authoritarian structure of both language and rationale, and by so doing avoiding the trap, in our society, of reproducing the same authority and hierarchy which one attempts to criticise. It is to take a look at the ‘contextually dominated discourse that we have and see that it does not produce freedom’ because it itself gets imprisoned by contemporary discourses. While we are free to do as we like, write what we like but the discourse itself maybe struggling to find a window through which we can shape our understanding of ourselves and our capacity to distinguish the valuable from the valueless, the truth from the false, and the right from the wrong.  It is important to do this because we mostly forget that that while we are not programmed, like computers or driven by instincts, our thoughts and actions are influenced, regulated and to some extent controlled by these discourses.

The whole point I am trying to make by this exercise is that; political action must invoke a rethinking of resistance and authority in a way that traces a path between the two terms, so that one does not merely reinvent the place of power. Therefore, this process locates itself within the context relations of power, domains of knowledge, techniques of the self and orders of discourse, games of truth and subjectivity.
