What is your understanding of deconstruction?
What, in this context, is meant by text? Deconstruction ‘provides a broad philosophical framework and a process for reading and critically analysing both written texts and everyday-life contexts, opening up each realm to the possibility of social change. The word text is used in the broadest sense possible, referring both to written material and to lived contexts, daily situations and activities through which meanings and identities are produced, reproduced, and contested’ (Danforth and Rhodes, 1997: 358).
