La Deconstruction explained for children

Abstract

What is deconstruction? This Word in present days is more than common, but it is almost indecipherable. Deconstruction has been understood as a way to do critic or theory but it is anything but a method that shows steps to talk about texts or literary narratives. It has been tried/wanted to give deconstruction conceptual insurance to appease the anguish of its strangeness. So in that way be able to explain it and maybe practice it or “use” it. However, it is most definite that it is easier to talk about what deconstruction is not than about what it is. For this reason, this work tries to offer an accompaniment to confront deconstruction as much as it tries to approach what it is. To do so, it is necessary to make a brief review of the history of the word that gave it its meaning. For this motive, it is crucial to talk about one of the most provocative thinkers of the 20th century. I am referring of course to Jaques Derrida. A French-Argelian philosopher and writer that with his ideas shook the philosophical grounds and occidental thought, who, with his way of living gave a new meaning to this word and made it emerge as a subversive being and as a response to every binary order.
