“Deconstructing Deconstructionism”


[Continued from this.]

[Announcer:]  The stands are sold-out, as Dr Justice at last emerges from his dressing-room, to deliver the definitive refutation of the Deconstructionists and all their works.

[The crowd murmurs.]

Dr J:
-- Ha!  You fancied I would waste any pixels on that?

:  I micturate on Deconstructionism.  
:  I defecate on Deconstructionism.
But I do not stoop to … engage … with Deconstructionism -- or its Parisian messenger-boy, Derrida !!!!


[And the people went wondering  away.]

[Update]
With relief  we welcome some distinguished professorial company   in invoking scatology  to combat the purveyors of scat:

Deconstruction deconstructs itself, and disappears up its own behind, leaving only a disembodied smile  and a faint smell of sulphur.
-- Roger Scruton, Modern Philosophy (1994), p. 478


This, in a chapter appropriately titled “The Devil”.
