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>
