I always took Death of the Author to mean more that the work stands on its own, separate from the author’s overt intentions. Works can be informative about their authors, just not often in the way the author wants, and texts can SAY the opposite of what the author intends

Seems like a face value interpretation of DotA, but whatever suits your ends I suppose. I could never tolerate a Jimmy Saville related product again, so mostly agree.

How about “death of the author” is simply 100% not an acceptable approach?

Who makes the work does matter & shouldn’t be separated for sake of art

But there are plenty of cases where it genuinely doesn't - none of Roald Dahl's anti-Semitism filters through to his children's literature.

I'm not keen on DotA for a lot of other reasons (mostly when it comes to deciding who gets to interpret a story with more "authority"), but plenty of awful people have created brilliant culture without it being tainted by their views/acts.
