Deconstructionism

A philosophical movement and theory of literary criticism that questions traditional assumptions about certainty, identity, and truth; asserts that words can only refer to other words; and attempts to demonstrate how statements about any text subvert their own meanings

In art and literature, a tendency to subvert or pull apart and examine existing conventions having to do with meaning and individualism. Whether using language, images, or building elements, deconstructionists raise questions about meaning, materials, forms and other aspects of artistic expression.

Deconstructing

Analyze (a text or a linguistic or conceptual system) by deconstruction, typically in order to expose its hidden internal assumptions and contradictions and subvert its apparent significance or unity

( To break down into components; dismantle.

: to take apart or examine in order to reveal the basis or composition of often with the intention of exposing biases, flaws, or inconsistencies <deconstruct the myths of both the left and the right — Wayne Karlin>

: to adapt or separate the elements of for use in an ironic or radically new way <uses his masterly tailoring skills to deconstruct the classics — Vogue>

Deconstructivist Architecture

an architectural movement or style influenced by deconstruction that encourages radical freedom of form and the open manifestation of complexity in a building rather than strict attention to functional concerns and conventional design elements (as right angles or grids)

Deconstructivist Architecture focuses on seven international architects whose recent work marks the emergence of a new sensibility in architecture. The architects recognize the imperfectibility of the modern world and seek to address, in Johnson's words, the "pleasures of unease." Obsessed with diagonals, arcs, and warped planes, they intentionally violate the cubes and right angles of modernism. Their projects continue the experimentation with structure initiated by the Russian Constructivists, but the goal of perfection of the 1920s 1s

subverted. The traditional virtues of harmony, unity, and clarity are displaced by disharmony, fracturing, and mystery.

Dissolving

1. To cause to pass into solution: dissolve salt in water.

2. To reduce (solid matter) to liquid form; melt.

3. To cause to disappear or vanish; dispel.

4. To break into component parts; disintegrate.

5. To bring to an end by or as if by breaking up; terminate.

•    To become fluid; to be melted; to be liquefied.

•    To fade away; to fall to nothing; to lose power.

•   To convert into a liquid by means of heat, moisture, etc.,; to melt; to liquefy; to soften.

•    To break the continuity of; to disconnect; to disunite; to sunder; to loosen; to undo; to separate.

• To solve; to clear up; to resolve.

•  To separate into competent parts; to disorganize; to break up; hence, to bring to an end by separating the parts, sundering a relation, etc.; to terminate; to destroy; to deprive of force; as, to dissolve a partnership; to dissolve Parliament.

•    To waste away; to be dissipated; to be decomposed or broken up.

   To relax by pleasure; to make powerless.

•   In chemistry, it is the act of solvation, when a solid is mixed into a liquid, creating a solution. Mixing salt into water is an example. Upon evaporation, the dissolved parts usually come out of solution and reform the solid.

   In film and video editing, it is one way of changing the view. For example, a scene        fades (changes slowly) from a bright day to all black.

What dissolves paper?

Dissolving paper is more difficult than one might think. While certain bio-degradable paper can be easily dissolved in water, most commercially used paper is significantly more durable; its near-neutral pH requires strong acids to dissolve it completely. Hydrochloric acid, also known and marketed commercially as muriatic acid, is sufficiently strong to dissolve paper. Strict safety precautions must be followed to avoid accidents caused by its acidity, toxicity and volatility, and the acid must be neutralized before disposed it.

What dissolves rocks?

Strong acids like: 
-muriatic acid 
-alkalines 
-hydrofluoric acid

Disintegration

The process of coming to pieces

•  the disintegration of infected cells

decomposition: in a decomposed state

1. The act or process of disintegrating.

2. The state of being disintegrated.

3. Physics & Chemistry The natural or induced transformation of an atomic nucleus from                a more massive to a less massive configuration by the emission of particles or radiation.

: to break or decompose into constituent elements, parts, or small particles

: to destroy the unity or integrity of intransitive verb

: to break or separate into constituent elements or parts

: to lose unity or integrity by or as if by breaking into parts

: to undergo a change in composition <an atomic nucleus that disintegrates because of   radioactivity>
