Full Definition of deconstruction
1
: a philosophical or critical method which asserts that meanings, metaphysical constructs, and hierarchical oppositions (as between key terms in a philosophical or literary work) are always rendered unstable by their dependence on ultimately arbitrary signifiers; also : an instance of the use of this method <a deconstruction of the nature–culture opposition in Rousseau's work>
2
: the analytic examination of something (as a theory) often in order to reveal its inadequacy

The process of plotting and writing Watchmen, the graphic novel, utilized the method of deconstruction. The object or focus of that deconstruction [method] was the superhero genre.
Common parlance would allow the phrase "Watchmen is a deconstruction of the superhero genre" to imply the understanding that a physical piece of work cannot be an abstract concept but can be created through an abstract concept.

thanks for turning my argument with that dumbass into a meme. Seriously, keep it up. The best way to mock snyderfags is to do it relentlessly and with appropriate condescension
What film should i watch next? Make it special.
>>67943457
These look like deconstructions of filming, film making, I've seen good bunch of them already.
Didn't mean to limit it to only 'medium deconstructing films', any topic goes

I've never been convinced Salo is worth watching. I feel like "can't unsee" will actually matter in this case.

Did you dive right into Horse Money? It's amazing on its own, but easily Costa's most complicated and disorienting narratives. Ventura is phenomenal.
