Why do people always say death of the hecking author when half the fun of books is trying to figure out what the actual fuck brought some random fucking asshole to write 400 pages of slop instead of having sex or something
>>24110467No hywyte man has ever said that. It's only Jewesses in academia.
It is a concept, a filter, not a tenet of reality. Anyone who says this is to be treated with the highest degree of suspicion.
>>24110467>OP doesn't know all published print books are written by the central propaganda bureau.NGMI.
Half? The identity of the author breaks down in the non-time of the creative process. The process of creation is a kind of violence and rebirth enacted against the self. It's interesting to analyze the genesis of a work via the substrate of the author's life, but analyzing the text according to that is just uninteresting insofar as it is normatively reductive.
What confuses me is that the people who advocate for the death of the author are usually the same ones who go on and on about “media literacy.” Those two concepts seem mutually exclusive.
>>24110467Its just a pov. how does a work staind on its own in a vaccum, and how does the work stand informed by its circumstances.Both are useful and neither should be neglected if you feel bothered to try and apreciate the thing more fully.
>>24110467I love understanding context so much bros
>>24110467Because the author should not be allowed to edit his work after the fact with Twitter
