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

[@jq5176]

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

[@keyrtan]

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?

[@jmac6973]

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

[@avivastudios2311]

No it's explaining what is in the book. Isn't it?

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.

[@filmandmediastudieschannel]

thanks! comparing to New Criticism was really the only way I could make sense of Barthes's text for myself.

[@cheyennekurd]

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

Thanks a lot. I was suppossed to contemplate on this article for an master class and ur video helped a lot.

He has the same arguments in his sur Racine

[@maximmerle]

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
