Literature Action: On Research Of Derrida's Literature Theory Of Deconstruction

Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) was a very famous France Philosopher, Aesthetician and literature Theorist in the contemporary era. Deconstruction, initiated by Jacques Derrida, hold that from Plato to now, the metaphysics tradition formed a kind of potential form of thought:there is one essential principle behind all the things,which is named"Logocentrism". If people could not obey this kind of principle thinking, it was necessarily the deviation. In the long history of western culture, this way of thinking is further rooted, including Phonocentrism, Present ontology, Malenism, Rationalism ontology and so on, which is regard as all the different form of Logos. The goal of Deconstruction is to pull down the arbitrary system and to rethinking again. Jacques Derrida considered that Presence, in fact, is only a sort of man's fabricating and phantasm, for there are always something beyond this centre of ontology and existing something forever such as supplement, fringe, presence and difference. Besides philosophy text, there is no vacantly untouched or blank fringe, but only being other text. The latter text is equal to the former one. There is no existence of stern rank and the two is firmly connected together. This relation overturned traditional rules of rank. Jacques Derrida's deconstruction theory vacillate the whole traditional foundation of humanities. Thus it is also an important source of theory of post-modernism.Jacques Derrida's opinion of literature theory of deconstruction is based on philosophy of deconstruction, which is a kind of systematic rethinking of traditional metaphysic literature theory. However, Jacques Derrida considered that there was no essential existence in the world. Language and text are also variable and the truth is only people's analysis on outside world. And the meaning of text mainly depend on all kinds of cultural and social signs, thus the meaning is quietly difficult to be limited. Importantly, the writer's and reader's understanding will be explained at different circumstance. It is impossible for us to obtain the invariable idea of the world, so meaning or explain or conclusion is endless forever. Jacques Derrida's deconstruction criticism is a big challenge to the traditional criticism and value judgment. He thinks the critical practice can not track down the original meaning of works, it is a sort of creation and re-creation action on works. As for deconstruction, the criticism is not the last standard. And deconstruction is also the deconstruction of the criticism of itself. However, this is not means to debase the value of all criticism, but means trying to ponder the authority of criticism in history.Jacques Derrida argued that works of literature and art should express animated sensibility and pay more attention to obtain aesthetical experience. However, he objected to structuralism's research on only emphasizing the single structure and pure logical method. In Derrida's eyes, any works is different and has no fixed core or structure, no ultimate truth of works value. As the world changing every day, literature also will be changed step by step. We always think we have grasped the essence of literature, but in fact this is a sort of man's fabricating and phantasm. Because we all keep an eye on this world from people's some hypothesis. Literature's meaning generate from the intercommunion of the text calling structure and reading action. It is not only a sort of man's fabricating organizational system, but also a kind of activity of literature and taking on the character of literature. The meaning of literature appears in the proceeding of Difference forever, there is no end. Jacques Derrida brings forward his viewpoint on text,"there is nothing beyond text". The text neither relate with reality, nor the author's purpose. But text may be connected with other ones and weave all kinds of colorful and beautiful web. In the course of reading classic text, Jacques Derrida adopt dual reading strategy, he not only pay attention to the meaning of the author, but also emphasize the readers try his best to abundantly find out the difference between the expressing meaning of the author in the language pattern and the no expressing meaning of the author during reading. In Jacques Derrida's opinion, the criticism gains independence, no longer"service for servitor". It not only criticizes the text, but also for itself.Jacques Derrida's deconstruction theory proposes a sort of opening-up thinking pattern and pays attention to attain individual aesthetical experience during reading. Despite his critique on metaphysics shows utopianism, this extremely critical strategy may be a sort of prominent thought. Professor Chen Xiao-ming pointed out"post-modernism is based on deconstruction. Deconstruction is the unsophisticated point of building post-modernism's thought in which contains a lot of rich resources of thinking."In a certain extent, we can see that Jacques Derrida's thought changes some critic's ideas. From this point, they set up all kinds of different critical methods by reading and thinking literature text. Finally this situation led to beanfeast landscape of critical theory of Post-modernism. However, some people blame that Jacques Derrida's deconstruction is"nihility","destroy","negate all things". I think it is badly misunderstanding to Derrida's deconstruction. In fact,deconstruction, above all, is"yes", which affirms origin of non-fountainhead . He does not want to cancel the essence and negate classic, what he want to do is to endow the possibility of rethinking this text. In Jacques Derrida's last lifetime,He especially focus on democracy, politics, law, ethic, convention and so on. Derrida's social activities embody a highbrow's conscience. Jacques Derrida is a respectable ideologist. I think that"Literature action"as a topic embody entirely Jacques Derrida's deconstruction trait. As for me, Jacques Derrida's deconstruction literature theory is a rethinking action to animadvert on the essence of traditional metaphysics.
