Project 16 deconstruction - terms of Art

The philosopher Derrida divided his time between France and California (University of Irvine). He was given the credit (by some) as the founder of deconstruction (the process of taking concepts apart and rejoining then again sideways or inside out etc.).  He was made aware of this as he move back and forth between France and the U.S.A. Sometimes they (deconstructionists) insist that there is no grounded perspectives (that all are complete) and that we cannot afford to choose one from another this leads to the concept of pluralism(has more than one ultimate principle) and postmodernism (specifically a reaction against modernism said to begin with pop art) Many see these arguments as important to getting to see all perspectives.  While other choose to  avoid this.  At some point there is no grounded perspective that all are complete and that we can ill afford to choose one over the other - Thus the concept of pluralism and post modernism.

Examples of deconstruction of an image in film

CBS mini series The Regan's was presented as a deconstruction of the Regan adminisation.

The film Shriek can be considered as a deconstruction of a popular fairy tale.  The terms also used to describe older parades such as Don Quixote and Gulliver's Travels.  Which deconstruct the concepts of knightly order and genre of travel goers respectively.  Thus the use of this term which is only slightly connected to Derrida's original seems to take hold in various ways in recent years.

Gillian Dyer claims that advertising is "the official art" of the advanced industrial nations of the west (1982)

Some even suggest that this works in the same way as myths and primitive societies in as far as it conveys values and beliefs through providing the onlooker with simple stories and explanations which help them to organise their thought and experiences and to make sense of the world.

Every day we are surrounded be advertisements which ever way we turn we will see some form of publicity (latest offers at supermarkets- billboard- magazine's- newspapers- adverts of television even when going to the cinema).  Yet very often we are not aware of the impact these have on ourselves.  Advertisers try to manipulate society into buying a new way of life.
