What is deconstruction? Nothing, of course. (Derrida, 1991, p. 275) . . . deconstruction doesn’t consist in a set of theorems, axioms, tools, rules, techniques, methods . . . there is no deconstruction, deconstruction has no specific object . . . (Derrida, 1996, p. 218) . . . deconstruction is neither an analysis nor a critique. . . . I would say the same about method. Deconstruction is not a method and cannot be transformed into one. . . . It must also be made clear that deconstruction is not even an act or an operation . . . (Derrida, 1991, p. 273) . . . deconstruction loses nothing from admitting that it is impossible. (Derrida, 1991, p. 272)
