terminal pharmacy,
I disagree, as I've said, you've described an analysis. Analyses can be broad or small, total or partial, but I don't yet see any need for 'deconstruction' to be applied here when, as far as I'm aware, it has a much more sophisticated definition than the incredibly base one you've described. I don't have the wherewithal to explain exactly what deconstruction 'is', but I'm quite confident that it's a great deal more complicated than merely looking at something's parts.
Perhaps I'm just bitter that I've read Writing and difference 3 times and still don't entirely get deconstruction, whereas everyone else seems content to let it be an incredibly simple thing? Don't want to come across like a wanker, not bothered if I do.
