What is Deconstruction? Jacques Derrida

What is Deconstruction? Jacques Derrida
I prepared and delivered this lecture on Derrida for one of my courses during the spring of 2020. This is an edited version of my lecture on deconstruction.
In this video, I explain the basic philosophy of Jacques Derrida and his own explanation of Deconstruction. Included also is a reference to Derrida's critique of Jean-Jacques Rosseau in his book "Of Grammatology."

Can the literary theories like postcolonialism or feminism be considered as deconstructive since they aim at subverting the traditional binaries of the dominant colonist vs the colonized or men vs women? However, in subverting the conventional hierarchies are they not re-establishing a dominant 'center', a notion which Derrida argued against? From the postcolonial lens 'the colonized' may be the new center but isn't it still a 'center' nonetheless? Similarly, Freud challenged the hierarchal position of 'the conscious' but then he made 'the unconscious' the center. Kindly clear this confusion.

Do all texts deconstruct themselves?
A lot of scholars agreed on interpretting Derrida's given concepts ....Does this refute Derrida's argument about the undecidablitity of meaning/s?
Does Derrida utilise reason to belittle reason?..
