Fifth, post-modernists don’t give due importance to history, rather they talk of ‘end of history’ but in practice historical analysis of social reality or even of texts gives an added advantage of knowing the context in the past and linking that with the present. Any social reality cannot be seen fully in the present, as it partly owes to the past, to the memory and to the history of institutions, organisations and societies. Time- space dimensions play a significant role in critical understanding of a social phenomenon or a text- a text requires a context. Finally, most of the post-modernists REFERENCES: 82 :: April-June 2010 deconstruct the text for its understanding but they don’t reconstruct it and thereby delinking- disconnection- leaves a gap or void or vacuum. Deconstruction may be the first phase of understanding but reconstruction is the second, and equally important, phase of understanding in totality. Thus we find that post-modernism has several streams. It has added a new perspective in understanding of a text by giving significance to difference, deconstruction and decentering but its over-emphasis on these concepts leads to an eccentric view ignoring other facets of social life or a text. 1.
