What is Deconstructionism in Literature Critique about?

Deconstructionism emerged from structuralism and focused on the idea that texts have no fixed meaning and are prone to misinterpretation. It became popular in the United States in the 1970s and was practiced by deconstructionists who would "demythologize, decanonize, dephallicize, dehegemonize, defame" literature. However, deconstructionism was criticized for treating literature as merely a form of social commentary and not recognizing it as an artistic creative act with moral responsibility.
