Jacques Derrida is the leader of the Deconstructionist movement. Borrowing from Nietzsche's process of genealogy, deconstruction seeks to read a text against itself. This is done through the revealing of the signs every sign is pointing to, in infinite reference. Deconstruction stipulates that a subject of interest (such as a text) can be better understood through this manner, and through a word Derrida is hesitant to use, allows the reconstruction of new meanings or better understandings.
The concept of Differánce relies on this space - the reference - from sign to sign. That it is in the space between meaning that meaning even exists.
