Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the ways in which Derridean deconstruction can be used for image research.
Design/methodology/approach
Derridean concepts, mainly located in literary criticism, are adapted to image research.
Findings
The paper presents four concepts of visual deconstruction: logocentric vision; close reading images; seeing the Other; and problematising not solutionising the image.
Research limitations/implications
Many more aspects of Derridean deconstruction can be related to the economy of the image.
Originality/value
Little work to date in management studies has considered how Derridean deconstruction can be used to investigate images.
