every man must shout:
there is great destructive, negative work to be done. To sweep, to clean. The cleanliness of the individual materialises after we've gone through folly, the aggressive, complete folly of a world left in the hands of bandits who have demolished and destroyed the centuries. With neither aim nor plan, without organisation: uncontrollable folly, decomposition."
/from Dada manifesto, 1918

I think deconstruction is important. It is first when you have broken it into piece, you see what you had. (Without taking it for granted, as in modernism - "this is how it should be") And then we can start to reconstruct from the fragments. Isn't this the essence of postmodernism?
