UGC NET Paper 1 GA 2013 Sep Solved Paper

Deconstruction is a form of philosophical and literary analysis, derived mainly from French philosopher Jacques Derrida’s ‘Of Grammatology’; its three key features are: (i) the inherent desire to have a centre, or focal point, to structure understanding (logocentrism); (ii) the reduction of meaning to set definitions that are committed to writing (nothing beyond the text); and, finding how the reduction of meaning to writing captures opposition within that concept itself (différance).
