This paper aims at clarifying some aspects of the relationship between deconstruction and theory, and of the definition of “theory” as such. The specific quality of this relationship becomes indistinct if deconstruction is merely regarded as a method or theory, and only becomes evident once considerable attention has been paid to the role of metaphor and of strategy in the text of deconstruction, and to the particular ways in which these two notions are elaborated upon by Derrida. A confrontation with structuralism (unavoidably brief owing to circumstances) contributes to the attempt of presenting some distinctive traits pertaining to deconstruction with regard to “theory”
