Deconstruction is a demand for a new hermeneutic model, not a rejection of interpretation.
Evidence
From our present standpoint, however, the ideal of an immanent analysis of the text, of a dismantling or deconstruction of its parts and a description of its functioning and malfunctioning, amounts less to a wholesale nullification of all interpretive activity than to a demand for the construction of some new and more adequate, immanent or antitranscendent hermeneutic model, which it will be the task of the following pages to propose. β Fredric Jameson, The Political Unconscious, 264
