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.
