| Summary: | Deconstruction, a postmodernist movement, has roots in ancient Greek and medieval philosophy and has been greatly influenced by Nietzsche’s ideas. Jacques Derrida’s ideas have contributed to the spread of this movement in literary criticism. This article examines postmodernism, deconstruction, and its roots, including formal criticism, criticism of Western centrism, interpretive philosophy, and Heidegger’s ideas. Deconstructionist concepts include trace, difference, voice, evidence, writing, distraction, and text. The article follows a descriptive approach, focusing on the key concepts of deconstructive reading and its methodological problems. Deconstructionists believe that there is no literary text except for its ambiguities and infinite meanings. However, deconstruction has faced criticisms, including the increasing interest in hermeneutics and those who argue that it is a reformulation of older forms of skepticism. The article aims to shed light on the foundations of deconstructive criticism and its methodological problems; deconstructionist concepts such as trace, difference, voice, evidence, writing, distraction, and text are examined. The article follows a descriptive approach. One of the most obvious consequences of this is that deconstructionists believe that there is no literary text except for the ambiguities and infinite meanings it contains. |
