Preferred term

deconstruction  

Definition(s)

  • Deconstruction is the process of undoing the social constructions that poststructuralism argues are merely contingent and not fundamental organizing structures, and that structuralism claims are the preverbal deep polarities involved in all human organization. To structuralism, these structures and their relationships between parts and wholes give primary order and sense to the raw unmediated world. [Source: Encyclopedia of Law & Society: American and Global Perspectives; Deconstruction]
