TL;DR: Deconstruction as mentioned in this paper is a post-modern view that modernism is an untenable philosophical position, and it works from within a research paper (text), taking an author's own criteria for privileging his or her work, and then de-constructing the text by pointing out how the author violates his/her own system of privilege.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe accounting as a practice that has no necessary relation to the institutions and practices of a professionalized elite known as "Accountants" and assume that the giving and receiving of economic accounts is a ubiquitous aspect of human experience, and they seek to explain its practice as one of donating intelligibility and understanding to what Etzioni describes as the moral dimension of economic experience.

TL;DR: The authors argue that accounting acts always and already are implicated in the teleological possibilities and actualities that inform objective, intersubjective, and private experience; and, because accounting is so implicated, its legitimacy is seen to depend upon democratic adjudication of reasons for and protests against particular forms of accounting practice.

TL;DR: The authors suggests the value of a rhetorical understanding of accounting research practice and suggests that there is a ubiquity to argument in scholarly practice, despite the methodological differences across various accounting research communities.

TL;DR: In this paper, a disfiguration of accounting as an embodied practice and an appeal for quite speculative refigurations consistent with Irigaray's notion of the feminine imaginary, a pre-discursive space of possible difference.
