So most weeks I can understand the material fairly well but with deconstruction/ post-structuralism I am at a loss. The way that Derrida writes is a style that I would not read for fun on my own time, but I suppose that is the point. As Professor MB said (don't quote me on it) this sort of criticism is exclusionary.
There was a point that did catch my attention. In Barry's book on page 65 second half of number 4 where he says it "distrusts the very notion of reason," and in Baudrillard on page 368 phase 4. "It bears no relation to reality whatever: it is its own pure simulacrum." (I know this is from last week)
This way of thinking and criticizing works makes me think of Salvidor Dali's paintings. His works have elements of the world but they create their own.
This is the way I have somewhat interpreted this criticism, and it's not much.
