‘Deconstruction applies to 'in here' and not necessarily 'out there'.
'To
perceive an object is to know immediately that there is always more to be said.
All experience is experience of more, of possibility.
Presumably we are
is talking about experiencing objects. But there are of course narratives
whereby we are not said to experience or perceive objects themselves, but
rather other things like light or neural activity, which were induced by the
objects 'out there'. From that perspective deconstruction applies to 'in here'
and not necessarily 'out there'. The language and narrative being 'in here'
also by the internal narrative of inference.
Where it becomes interesting is when what is internal becomes externalized, through media, language and culture. eg a pyramid, a movie, a bill of rights. ie. Man made objects. These are open to deconstruction, and as such are physically manifest as 'out there' according to the objective narrative, but that is not to deconstruct the objective world generally within this position, but only those phenomena that can be re-internalized in linguistic or narrative form.
The point i am trying to make is that the objective world narrative does not necessarily disintegrate under deconstruction. It is challenged..... and effectively so from my own personal point of view. But I recognize that there are leaps of intuition, new curiosity and faith in shifting my position. Just as I recognize the same for those that try to hold to the underlying truths of a grand narrative.
