The article comments on an article by Hein Viljoen, ‘"Vakansiebrief"‐'n dekonstruksie‐/dekonstruktiewe lesing’ (JLS 1(4)). It argues that Viljoen, having postulated that it is in the nature of deconstructive reading that a poem can have no definitive meaning, undermines his own approach by adopting a fixed meaning for ‘Vakansiebrief. Using two possible seme‐analyses, the article offers an interpretation of the poem which differs radically from that which forms the basis of Viljoen's ‘Deconstructive’ reading. It continues to examine Viljoen's assumption that identifying ‘Derridean’ themes in a poem is to be equated with a deconstructive reading. Such an approach, it is suggested, is more typical of Structuralism. In conclusion the question is raised whether a method that can lead to such far‐fetched interpretation has any real value for literary analysis
