Thanx, Glice.
Deconstruction does not equal destruction.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to perform a deconstructive act upon something one doesn't understand. Perfectly easy to destruct it, tho.
((By the way, the very word "postmodernism" gets bandied about quite a bit in the US by non-academics, not just "deconstruction." I always want to ask "Please define Postmodernism for me." It's a trick question, of course, but I bet I'd get quite a few verbose answers. Or baffled silence. Sorry for the snobbery, but I think that those who have trudged through any Derrida have more of a right to discuss these things than people who may have picked up on a few buzz words circulating in pop discourse.))
Also, not to be too boring or contradictory, but an analysis does not equal a critique.
