Here is my response about Deconstruction
Deconstruction
is a form of philosophical and literary analysis derived from Jacques Derrida.
Deconstruction is actually a way of reading any text and thereby exposing the
instability of meaning which the text tries to cover up. Deconstruction is a
theory and Practice of reading which question claims to undermine or
subvert the assumption that the system of language provide space
that are adequate to establish the Boundaries , the coherence or unity , and
the determine the meaning of literary text .
For example ;
From the Sujoy Ghosh’s Short Film AHALYA
AHALYA as a character of history who was waiting for
redemption for her sins through the hands of Lord Ram morphs into a new
identity through the hands of Sujoy Ghosh, an identity that is shot through and
through with seduction, and the concomitant dangers of falling into the trap of
lust. It underlines the fact that while it always is tempting to travel the
path of seduction, the pitfalls also have to be factored in.
Through AHALYA, Sujoy Ghosh perhaps wishes to show mirror to
the society about the way the physical relationships are happening and how the
paradigms have changed from the original AHALYA to the modern AHALYA- the
original AHALYA being turned into stone after having fallen for lust and
waiting for redemption at the hands of Lord Ram, while the modern AHALYA
continues to revel in lust and converts the encounters into stone, but with a
difference - there is no Lord Ram for redemption.
