Roland Barthes's "Death of the Author," Explained

Фильм және анимация

In this video, I introduce Roland Barthes's essay "The Death of the Author" (1967). First, I look at the question of authorial intention, and I compare Barthes's position on authorial intention to Monroe C. Beardsley and William K. Wimsatt's essay "The Intentional Fallacy" (1947). Then, I examine one of the major ways in each Barthes's text diverges from this previous text by looking at the role that structuralism plays in his argument.

    its a funny little thing of pedagogy that in order to explain "death of the author" we often attempt to explain, specifically, barthes' intentions with respect to the text, what barthes would approve of, etc

    I paused the video half way and was about to say just that. Why do we spend more time on personal criticism than on evaluating the text?

    funny that there is a video explaining the intent of an author who doesn't think the intent of an author matters at all

    Love it.. so easy and so pleasing too. Things are complicated whenever I try to understand how Roland Barthes is different from New Criticism, but you made it easy.

    Thank you. How can I find the next part where you explain the individualism/ideology?

    Where he says that most critiques want to see in Andromaque la Du Parc and in the end want to see in Pyrrhus Racine and so they seek for a such an experience in Racine's life and find it
