Deconstruction

Hello readers
Here i'm sharing my views on Derrida's deconstruction.

Like all other terms deconstruction cannot be defined once and all finally. Derrida himself refuses to define the term.
Deconstruction is not destructive activity but an inquiry in to the foundation, causes of intellectual system.
the very conditions Derrida argues is based on distinctions on Binary oppositions.

                                                                                                                                                                    In this video you will find the binary opposition like Superior / Inferior, Master / slave, poor/rich , light / dark. the main idea of this advertisement is after eating this chewing gum you will get sparkling white.but if look according Derradian concept of deconstruction it is breaking the idea of  light or white. all these men are serving in royal palace to give light. at first look we din't get this.but after reading Derrida this ad present opposite binares.

Narrative technique

Here I have tried to analyze two Disney fairy tales with the help of structuralism approach and analyzed Barfi movie with help of five concepts of narrative discourse given by Gerard Genette.

Dictionary meaning: A critical discipline which studies a text in relation to other known elements. Including knowledge of author, contemporaneous culture, literary conventions and facts not mentioned in the text but known to intended readers in addition to the text itself.

According to structuralist critic, they believed that in every literature structure is same but it is presented in different manner. Whether it is love story, tragedy or revenge story.

We all are aware about Disney fairy tales Cinderella, snow white and seven dwarves, sleeping beauty etc.In sleeping Beauty we find that Aurora has been cursed that when Aurora pricks her finger on a spinning wheel and die. When Aurora pricks her fingers she falls into

a deep sleep. She can only awaken from if she is kissed by her own true love.

Snow white and seven dwarves:  In this story snow white falls unconscious with one bite of poisoned apple. She lays sleeping over years; her prince arrives eventually to wake her from her slumber. We can see that in these stories prince comes to rescue his princess, structure is same but presented differently.

 

I have done analysis of Barfi movie according to five concepts of Gerard Gennets narrative discourse. Story is in flashback technique. From present time narrator takes us into past.

Order:  In this movie kidnapping occurs rather than murder. A circumstance of Jhilmil’s (Priyanka Chopra) kidnapping is revealed and police thought it was Barfi (Ranbir Kapoor) but  we came to know that kidnapper is not Barfi but it is Jhilmil’s Father.

Frequency is singular.

Duration:  There are two times separation happens between two events. First it is of six years and then again it is of seven years gape.

Voice: voice is concern with narrator there is Intra Diegetic narration. Narrator is Sudhanshu Dutt- who is local police officer in this movie.

This is how I have tried to analyze the movie with the help of structuralist approach.
