In thinking about the place of deconstruction, about deconstruction and place, I'm reminded of some comments made by Jacques Derrida at a conference I attended at the University of Irvine in 1987 entitled ‘The States of “Theory”’. Derrida had not noticed at first that ‘states’ in the title of the conference was in the plural, he told us, and he continued:

Derrida insisted that this was not just a joke (though it certainly had the audience laughing), and that the double meaning of ‘state’ would have to be taken on board in any analysis of the conference in which we were all participating, an analysis that would necessarily include a consideration of what he called ‘the geography and politics of theory’. Such an analysis would show that it was not just by chance that a conference on theory – including ‘deconstructive theory’ – was happening in Southern California.

Deconstruction, as Derrida uses the word, is not something anyone chooses to undertake but rather something that happens, and there is presumably no place that has any special privilege over others when it comes to the event of deconstruction in this sense.
