Deconstruction thrives on uncertainty, which is often baffling for newcomers. Applying complex theory to recognizable examples from pop music, TV, film, books and newspapers, Paul Bowman unpicks the ideas of deconstruction. This book shows all students of cultural studies how to use deconstruction to read and make sense of culture. Examples deconstructed include: 'Who moved my cheese?', Ghost Dog's lyrics, and Zizek's philosophy.
