Deconstruct a text to understand it

A text can be anything, a book, a movie, a recording.

• Start by finding a silent space.
• Next, find something to deconstruct: a poem, a timetable, a shopping list, philosophy, this text.
• Start deconstructing. How is the text regarded? Question accepted truths, and in whose interest it is that they are accepted.
• Look for places within the text that contradict each other. (Films may provide ample examples.)
• Don't listen to what the author says. Trust your own analysis of a text.
