ABSTRACT
There are numerous instances of deconstructive readings to use as illustration – from Jacques Derrida and from other scholars who work in deconstruction. More generally, Derrida's deconstruction of Immanuel Kant's desire for ergonomic purity is in line with his antithetical attitude to 'either/or' logic. Derrida's conception of philosophy is oriented towards an alternative future which can be facilitated via deconstruction of the current order: deconstructive inventiveness can consist only in opening, uncloseting, destabilizing foreclusionary structures so as to allow for the passage toward the other. Deconstruction is always deeply concerned with the other of language. Many forms of text analysis use a linguistic descriptive system or metalanguage to trace the text, to describe its constituents. Metalanguage is imposed from the outside onto the text as we saw with use of systemic functional grammar. Deconstruction in a text depends on difference and ghostly traces of meaning.
