i agree with everything that you are saying, but most of it was unnecessary.
i was just saying that the word "deconstructionist" in the article was not meaningless as you said it was because rob got a meaning from it.
it's foucault's destabilisation of meaning - the death of the author, the birth of the audience.
i wouldn't have jumped in but i found a particular irony in the fact that here we are debating the precise meaning of deconstruction (relating to semiotics) when many people understand it to relate to the absence of definate, or author enforced, meaning in a text. that's all! anyway, i'm glad you spouted what you spouted, i definately learned a thing or two!
