The article analyzes the methodological concept of destructuring extrapolated to the processes of decentralization and deconstruction of modern culture. During the destructuring of cultural universals, decentralization and deconstruction of culture as a whole occur simultaneously.

The concept of destructuring in the analysis methodology reveals meanings, metaphysical constructions, and hierarchical oppositions, which always turn out to be unstable due to their dependence on extremely arbitrary meanings. The deconstruction of culture contains decentralization and deconstruction, and does not mean destruction, it is an analysis of contemporary cultural universals and meanings in order to discover their true meaning.
