This article deals with the relevance of deconstructivist theory today, more precisely, in the context of modern philologies. The author introduces the theory of deconstruction with an "elementary gesture", which we can find in the use and the analysis of quotation marks in certain texts of Jacques Derrida. The quotation marks indicate a special treatment of the concepts of the Western metaphysical tradition; the moments of quotation, distance and literality are also important for the theory of literature of Paul de Man. The critical, non-ideological use of deconstructive concepts and their "lectio difficilior" is interesting for research into texts and interpretation.
