What is an Author?Maurice Biriotti, Nicola Miller Manchester University Press, 1993 - 216 من الصفحات In 1968, Roland Barthes declared the death of the Author and the birth of the Reader. This volume has brought together an international group of authors to respond to the persistent and politically-charged question, 'What is an author?'. The structuralist onslaught on agency has thrown into question the humanistic certainties of biography and literary authority. Intellectual developments in psychoanalysis and literary theory have meanwhile signalled the collapse of the unified subject and the need to challenge authority by stressing the slipperiness of language and meaning. Studies of the role of the reader have multiplied. |
