Deconstruction (originating with Derrida) is a critical approach that questions and destabilizes traditional assumptions, categories, and binary oppositions in texts and artworks — showing how meanings are contingent, unstable, and often internally contradictory.

(For reference: a describes Marxist/social-contextual analysis, b approximates formalism/New Criticism, and c is biographical criticism.)
