What is Deconstruction? Answers from Jacques Derrida and Judith Butler

Abstract: This 10 page report discusses the concept of deconstruction as presented in Jacques Derrida's 1966 essay, Structure, Sign and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences and Judith Butler's 1991 essay Imitation and Gender Insubordination. "Deconstruction" is not synonymous with "destruction." Instead, it is an analysis of something based on taking the various components of that "something" apart and considering how they have come together and contributed to the "whole."
