With my
limited knowledge I would say that “Deconstruction” is not that easy term which
can be softly understood. Derrida himself says that, “if Deconstruction will be
understood then I will be proved wrong”. ‘Deconstruction’
simply means that ‘destroying’ the older one completely and built a new one. In
other perhaps in literary sense, ‘deconstruction’ means ‘decentering from the
center’. Derrida includes that ‘it should be free play of meaning’. For example,
word “Bat” have meaning of stick and another meaning is flying mammal, it also
leads us to another word “Bet” which means an agreement. So Derrida says that one
word should not have that ultimate end or conclusion is always leads us to
another one; which he introduces as ‘free play of meaning’. Thus he says that
never be in quest of center of a thing, but try to decenter from the center.
I would like
to deconstruct one movie (from promos and Trailer) which is still not release,
named “KI & KA” from “hope production”. The female actor is Karina Kapoor
and the male actor is Arjun Kapoor. They both are married couple. But the archetypal
concept of “House wife and Working man” is totally apposite here, because the
lady shown here as a “working woman” and a man is as “house husband”. Even the thing
seems awkward when man wears marriage locket (mangal suitra). And the
archetypal movements of erotic acts are usually initiates by men to their
wives. And here it is opposite when karina initiates those acts and man says ‘No’
because of tiredness throughout the whole day. Here, the feminine aspect seems
in center and it looks like its privileging on patriarchy (Feeling quite happy).
Thank You…..
