Abstract

Abstract Although the French philosopher Jacques Derrida did not invent the term ‘deconstruction’—he found it in a dictionary—it was an obsolete and archaic word when he first started to use it in the 1960s. Yet these days you are just as likely to come across it in a newspaper or in the title of a film such as Woody Allen’s Deconstructing Harry as in an academic journal, and in the field of architecture or of environmental policy, as in literary studies, where Derrida’s work first made an impact in the English-speaking world.
