Roland Barthes' Literary Text and Interpretation (The Death of the Author)

Abstract

The philosophy of hermeneutics and theories of reception have several theses in order to own the text and make it in the possession of the
recipient. Roland Barthes resolved the situation when he killed the author, removing his authority and influence that prevented the presence of
the actual reader and the act of reading. The article ''The death of the author '' has had a great impact on the field of linguistics and theories of
criticism by explicitly calling for the destruction of the priesthood or myth of the author, and although the author is dead, this does not prevent
his presence in the text, in one form or another, but this time as a guest, no less and no more.
