beneath the irony

Post by sweetwater »

To give a text an Author is to impose a limit on that text, to furnish it with a final signified, to close the writing. Such a conception suits criticism very well, the latter then allotting itself the important task of discovering the Author (or its hypostases: society, history, psyche, liberty) beneath the work: when the Author has been found, the text is 'explained'- victory to the critic.

when the author has been found
and the related strategies of finding (discovery)
and when the author is found

then what ... the 'gaming' syndicate - the use of personal information would only relate to extortion as legal consideration.
