    Arthur Chu Retweeted Dr. Ellie Lockhart. Republic serial villain.

    Death of the Author has never meant the New Critic/Modernist idea that "We must pretend the author does not exist at all and this book fell out of the sky" Barthes was making a very different claim, that the writer is not an *authority* on the work they wrotehttps://twitter.com/BootlegGirl/status/1367893300380844034 …

    This Ender's Game discussion has me convinced Death of the Author, at least as commonly understood, must either be compromised or taken to an absolute extreme

        Hence the specific word *author* (which connotes "authority"), which he wanted to replace with "writer" (or "scriptor") Obviously any written work is written down by a person, and obviously this fact is relevant They just never had total control of that process

        In fact "Death of the Author" often means asserting that you ARE allowed to "drag the writer into it personally" when the writer doesn't want you to That if a writer says, e.g., "Leave my religion out of it, it has nothing to do with this book" you're allowed to say "Bullshit"

        If a writer says "The bigoted stuff you see in my writing has nothing to do with my beliefs, I give you my word I didn't put that in intentionally" you can say "You're lying" or "You're in denial" or even "I don't care, it doesn't matter, it's still a bigoted text"

        Thats usually how i understood it. DOTA is just that there are interpretations of a work that exist outside of the whatever the author intends

        I actually got to experience this firsr hand once. I wrote a poem in high school and published it on one of those sites that lets you upload stuff for free. I got a comment about how excellent a particular leitmotif was. Thing is, that wasnt intentional, so it kinda blew my mind

        Replying to @simonm223 @arthur_affect

        I have read the essay. It doesn’t change that people will come at me with “disappearance of the author” takes if I don’t note the stance I’m taking DOTA is also a perspective several authors came to at around the same times, Derrida isn’t the only source

        I mean Derrida said, "there is only the text," meaning that everything is within the text and dumdums still argued he was trying to exclude extratextual concerns.

        I have a PhD and have written about Derrida and other people in this particular critical moment for journals. I am not a “dumdum”. DOTA has been used to undermine my arguments bc other people assume the things you’re attributing to me
