That time when I had a sinking feeling when the teacher went “What the poet wants to show is.” when in my heart I had very different picture the words of the poem created. The essay has not only overthrown the hegemony of the institution of the author but has for me given a new birth to the very paradigm of reading and interpreting. 'The hand of the writer/ poet only traces in a field. The name of the field is language.'
At what point did man unawares to himself use language as if he owned it?It is in fact language which owns man. I love this revelation.
Revelation of language as a field, a space of innumerable dimensions. Language is that neuter he says, in which meaning is systematically, relentlessly being extinguished. Once studying theory and characters heavily influenced by theory, consequently paralyzed by analysis, i thought why is it so hard for theory to be put into practice? Because language. It evades all our attempts at structuring meaning. The author is a cultural and social construct.
If he is god then the critic is the priest who claims privileged access to a secret meaning. Our virgin impressions of language are invalid they say. Barthes says both the god and the priest ought to be overthrown. Writing is the simplest anti-theological activity. In a movie or novel or real life i love it when one is confronted with meaninglessness.
You peel the onion long enough to find that there wasn’t anything under it all. All of the onion is about the peels. Barthes says that none of the text is about penetration to reach some ultimate meaning.
There is nothing to penetrate. Only various surfaces to be traversed. That moment when one is robbed of what is inside of him. My pain, my suffering, my joys and ecstasy. Confrontation of the cold indifference of the universe, human destiny, the absurd. “The author who claims to express what is inside of him, to translate into text, should know that that something is nothing but a ready-made dictionary whose words can only be defined by other words.” His sentiments and passions were a performance of language and signs. Endless network of the signifier and signified.
It has been the same inside of him as it was outside. There is no claim to originality. That which the author claims to have produced is nothing but joining of dots in the field of language. We collect impressions of the outer world.
We express ourselves in language. Somewhere we see that our sorrows and sufferings are the same as those of other people. If we are lucky we confront the absurd. If we are lucky the frozen sea inside of us is struck by an axe (My favorite Kafka notion). Perhaps we see how we share our individual identity with humanity.
One comes to see after reading this essay that language pervades both spheres. To understand life is to learn the play of language and signs. I find tremendous satisfaction in knowing that the author has been overthrown from his high ground.
They don’t hold the license to the ultimate truth, meaning and interpretation. There is hope and joy in this meaninglessness. Is this what Meursault felt when he said “I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.”? I remember that delightful time when films like Dev D., American Beauty, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and many more, made me feel I will discover something new and exciting and heartfelt with every viewing. The Catcher in the rye does that for me too. The reader is now the focus of flourish of new meanings. The reader is now a person without a past, psychology and bias.
In his power is to wade multiple writings, voices, worlds and identities. Even a child knows that he is free to make whatever he wants of the book he read. But this essay has to be read to understand how the child has to be saved from the author- god and the priests (and education overall if i can chip in). To understand how language furnishes the death of the author.
How the author, if seen as an undeniable source of meaning is harmful to our thinking process. To learn that wading through surfaces is really more fulfilling than penetrating hard enough to read a safe and stable meaning. I can't remember the last time I've been this angry at a Literary theory before. Barthes is essentially saying that the translation of thought into language removes the specific voice of the author. Which to me, sounds like he is completely disregarding author's intent. Because, well.
He is saying that regardless of what the author meant to write, there are cultural influences and 'the author', his person, his life, his passions-' are what creates the text. To this, I agree to an Wow.

To this, I agree to an extent. BUT OH NO, BARTHES DOESN'T STOP THERE.
He then goes on to say 'Utterance, in it's entirety, is a void process' which translated into lay-people prose is saying that when we utter language(written or spoken), we are stringing together words, that then assume their own meaning in the body of language. And it's the language itself that speaks and not the author.
THIS IS SO STUPID. IS HE LISTENING TO HIMSELF?! If writing isn't really creating / representing, and the author is dead. WHY AREN'T WE ALL DEAD? WHY ISN'T THE TEXT DEAD? We, as transient and irrelevant to language as a whole may be, HAVE EMOTIONS / MEMORIES / CULTURAL INFLUENCES TOO.
And if I want to be really philosophical, I can go on to say that the text itself does too. Ridiculous right? There is MORE. The text is a tissue of quotations drawn from the innumerable centres of culture Translation: The author has nothing original to say. If the whole theory is based around the idea that everything the author writes isn't really writing and there is nothing that is original, then we, as readers should be categorized in the same field. We should be side by side in this proverbial coffin with 'The Author'.

The Scriptor no longer bears within him passions, humours, feelings, impressions, but rather this immense dictionary from which he draws a writing that can know no halt Then, what's the point of an author? Why do we create art? If not to express ourselves?!
Different emotions, different situations. No single person is exactly the same for everything to be unoriginal.
Sure, there is intertextuality and interpretation, but that can only take you so far. If this theory had any logical leeway, why does shit like Plagiarism exist?! If the Author is Dead, then WHY AREN'T WE DEAD?!
(5.s because it made me so angry, brilliant). This is quite provocative; I have contradictory thoughts about this essay. Let's put them into words!
Basically, Roland Barthes argues that the meaning of a literary work is not created by the author rather by the destination (reader). For him, the author is the one who re-combines pre-existing things he was previously aware of from different cultures and did not come up with some thing new. He also argues that the author only exists at the time of writing; after that, he is dead. The author, he a This is quite provocative; I have contradictory thoughts about this essay.

For him, the author is the one who re-combines pre-existing things he was previously aware of from different cultures and did not come up with some thing new. He also argues that the author only exists at the time of writing; after that, he is dead. The author, he asserts, has no power over the text beyond that. The reader is the one who decides what the text means.
Therefore, the birth of the reader is at the cost of the death of the author. This leads us to the reader-response criticism where the reader is an active part of the interpretation and analysis process.
So, if the author is not responsible for the text, whose intentions, conventions, passions, tastes, and feelings we are reading about? An inevitable conclusion made by Barthes. With the beginnings of Burke, to the progression in Philosophy of inaesthetics, and their abandonment of universal ideals, replacing it with the idea that a persons' experience of it a piece of art decides what an art piece is. Still, I enjoyed it. I liked the focus on how language is for the reader to decide. The author merely scribes what is to be written. We, the readers, decide what the words mean.

I could not help to think of Wittgenstein. My only qualm is that the essay is too academic for my liking. Insightful, yes, but lacks true clarity. Whilst reading, I did think about how the ideas presented are a continuation of previous thoughts. Made me chuckle. 3/5 because that is the average of a 1 star and 5 star rating, trivial signifiers in their own right but, as the ends of a range, they capture my reaction to this essay.
I vehemently disagree on almost all accounts. His basic idea when unpacked has several kernels of truth, explored brilliantly, though in ways I consider myopic and misguided.

Perhaps here he would have wished for a death of the reviewer. The current academic trend in literary criticism these days is a theory spun in an essay by Roland Barthes (why are all the clever theoreticians French, when the French seem best at pastry, cheese, and wine? Hmm.), known affectionately as The Death of the Author (DOTA). Let me caveat right here: I'm not an academic, I'm untrained in literary analysis, and if I abuse some key concepts I admit ignorance, but I'm not attempting to misstate the tenets of the theory. In this approach the reader (p The current academic trend in literary criticism these days is a theory spun in an essay by Roland Barthes (why are all the clever theoreticians French, when the French seem best at pastry, cheese, and wine? Hmm.), known affectionately as The Death of the Author (DOTA).
Let me caveat right here: I'm not an academic, I'm untrained in literary analysis, and if I abuse some key concepts I admit ignorance, but I'm not attempting to misstate the tenets of the theory. In this approach the reader (professor, student, critic) ignores intent, the author's statements and the author herself when evaluating the work (apparently mandatorily known as 'the text'). No auteur theory here. They believe 'the text' must stand on its own, apart from any biographical, historical, or other information outside the four corners of the document. Only the reader's interpretation matters (ignore the of-our-time narcissism).
Thus the theory separates itself from attempts to read fiction as autobiography, historicism, and similar approaches. The approach is also called 'The Death of the Author,' because now the author is no longer important, only the reader's analysis has validity: 'the birth of the reader must be at the cost of the death of the Author.' Long live the Reader! Yes, this is certainly one valid approach to literary interpretation, but only one among many, and not the most convincing. How often have you felt the author coming through the writing?
My issues with DOTA are several (I'm sure all my quibbles have been addressed before in much larger words and with many more footnotes). First, it seems artificial. We're going to evaluate a literary work, but first let us put on blindfolds and pretend that the author never existed. We have a novel, where and when did it come from, why is it in German, is the author female or male? We're going to make believe there is no author, despite the loads of information we may know, because DOTA tells us to.
Why intentionally handicap ourselves and put on blinders? Isn't literary analysis difficult enough without tying one hand behind our back?
Like ice skating with bricks instead of skates, it just seems an affectation. Next, it seems extreme, even if it aligns with the Literature Major Full Employment Act. Sure, what the author says about his work is not definitive and often may be misleading. I believe reading fiction as autobiography is usually a mistake and usually wrong; there's just too much we don't know (subject for another day). I don't subscribe to author worship. Authors making self-serving statements? Of course they do.
In retrospect any number of authors have realized they're geniuses, and have the interviews, articles, and memoirs to prove it. So no, I don't take an author's statements at face value, and authors are often the worst person to explain their work. But it's extreme to throw everything the author says out the window, and the critics and academics, much like today's current crop of politicians, are not doing their job. It's an academic's responsibility to determine how much weight to give an author's stated intentions. When was a statement made? How persuasive is it?
A scholar's job is to determine what biographical or historical information, if any, we're going to include. That's part of the work, not just throwing up our hands. It's like a detective saying, we will not look at any information regarding the victim, let's make believe there is no victim. Now, let's solve the murder.
Following along with this, DOTA denies agency (another academically mandatory word) to the writer. A writer talking about the refugee experience may find she was actually explaining her sibling rivalry.
Authors' ideas are not their own, everything is in the province of the reader. So whatever Barthes intended in his essay is irrelevant, it's only my opinion that counts. Fourth, it's a bit of an oxymoron. DOTA decrees that the author is dead, hence the clever appellation. But we have loads of dead authors. Graveyards, anthologies, and ivory tower classes are full of them.
Scholars spend a great deal of time excavating the detritus of dead authors, searching old attics, old trunks, old relatives, perusing letters, diaries, marginalia. Then the academics go off to write earth-shattering biographies full of new revelations that shed halogen-bright insights into the long-dead author's work. Well why are they doing all that, if the text speaks for itself. Wasting their time, apparently. Finally (I could go on, but I already have), we lose so much by sticking strictly to the edicts of DOTA.
Let's say a woman over 50 has enclosed a poem in a letter to a friend. In the poem is the line, 'invisible, I step off the sidewalk,' and in the letter is the line, 'No one sees women my age, ah to be 20 again.' If some academic, relying only on 'the text,' goes on to write about how our urban, mechanical society endangers people crossing streets, we're not helping anyone.
If, after reading a poem about a sculpture, we later learn the name of the specific work, are we not to look at a photo of that sculpture? How does ignoring the sculpture add anything? Hope you enjoyed my rant, all meant in good fun, from someone who enjoys reading using all my senses, all my faculties, all the tools available. I'm not giving up any of them. Happy reading. And where is Jacques Derrida when you really need him?
Gearing up for grad school stuff, I've decided to really dive into looking at some literary theory. For those reading who are in college: don't get rid of any larger text books regarding this kind of stuff. Seriously, I'm going back and rebuying a ton of books I ditched after I graduated. At the time, I didn't recognize the value.

At the time, I didn't recognize the value. Anyway, I think Barthes claim in this piece is actually really interesting and I want to frame it around a video game I actually once played called 'The Beginner's Guide'. SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT ABOUT THE GAME THE BEGINNERS GUIDE. If you give a damn about video games and narrative in them, do not read and immediately go play it. Seriously, it'll run on most computers and is well worth it as a companion piece to this.
The game is primarily just looking at things and having a story told to you through a handful of levels as the narrator (identified as the games ACTUAL CREATOR Davey Wreden) talks about the man who made the levels, a guy named Coda. The game wrestles with Wreden's relationship with Coda, looking at his levels being some sort of autobiographical work relating to Coda's actual life. There are levels that discuss flawed relationships and anxieties of dating, one that involves prisons and isolations which kind of represent a state of mental isolation that Coda was going through. Ultimately the game builds up to Coda have a breakdown and writing an email to Wreden expressing his disgust on how he, Wreden, assigned meaning to every level based on Coda's expressed emotions, modifying the levels to fit this sort of narrative, etc. Again, great game, well worth your time. Barthes argues in this piece that the author needs to be separated from their work, as it leads to readers automatically searching for how the authors own politics, lifestyle choices, anything, are laced within the text. He states 'To give an Author to a text is to impose upon that text a stop clause, to furnish it with a final signification, to close the writing', a view that I kind of agree with to an extent.
That being said, I don't think that the author and text can be divorced always: there's so much importance about WHY a piece is written in relation to the authors current or past life circumstances: Catch 22 wouldn't be what it is had it not been for Heller's experiences in the military, Vonnegut directly places HIMSELF into the novel Slaughterhouse Five, etc. It's a tough thing to deal with and come to terms with.
I know that in my own way of reading, I've grown to REALLY dig into an authors life (wikipedia, brief articles, etc) as I read, since I think it helps me get where they're coming from. Realistically, though, characters in a novel should be read as being actual human beings and some projection of the AUTHORS creation. I'll review this a bit more eloquently another day, I think. All in all, well worth the read. 'The birth of the reader must be at the cost of the death of the author.' The essence of the text is shocking and heart breaking. At first i was trying anything in mind just to prove Barthes wrong.
Yet i believe that the area of dominance of authors was about to end and the age of reader was about to flourish. Because lets be honest no one ever cared about the reader before, it was all about the author and not the representation of him in the text only, his past, his thoughts that arent even in 'The birth of the reader must be at the cost of the death of the author.'

Because lets be honest no one ever cared about the reader before, it was all about the author and not the representation of him in the text only, his past, his thoughts that arent even in the text, his language, but Barthes suggests that we have had enough of it. By beginning to write, the author steps in the realm of language and after that the text is not his but is of language's.
The language speaks for itself, and believe me i dont mean it in a romantic way! By considering language as a system as Saussare sees it and by looking at Lacan's idea of the unconscious we see that we can find the links.
Because Lacan believed that unconscious is also a system and is not chaotic, and it worKs directly with the means of language, so when the author writes something and translates his thoughts into written text, tha language itself reveals enough and more than enough so there will be no need to include immeasurable data about authors history and etc. And lets not forget that Barthes was a Structuralist and wanted to apply scientific methods of analysing into texts by studying its form especially the language. I loved the example provided in it, about Proust and that the character he creates is suffering, but his suffering is of having sth to write, like a pregnnat woman, but when he finally starts writing, Proust's story ends.

'the reader is without history, biography, psychology; he is simply that someone who holds together in as single field all the traces by which the written text is constituted.' Monks who read Buddhabhisita Duddhanama Sutra do have a predilection for a conservative and traditional interpretation of the text that is unified with its author. Again, this is an extreme degree, but it's an example that can be extended to any writing.

(How often has that joke been used?) In it he proclaims the work’s namesake and along with it the “birth of the reader.” This is one key aspect of the text—it’s audacity—along with its density.
In just four pages Barthes finishes off any remaining fidelity to a work’s author and reorients attention to the text itself. This may sound familiar, but it comes with a new addition: the emergence of the reader. I’ve heard of ‘reader-reception’ as a literary movement, and this may be a forerunner. In any case Barthes argues that, even with attention given to a text, we will be limiting meaning if we keep the work’s author in mind. Setting him aside liberates both the text and reader himself.
This conclusion was a long time coming. Just as the formalists began to question the author’s authority over a work, and his necessity in understanding it, the structuralists took this a step further and saw the author as merely a construct combining words together. Actually, let’s back up a second: this is tricky and I want to go over it correctly.
Barthes begins by stressing the lack of origin or identity in art. In a book for example, what’s being said by a narrator or character isn’t actually real. So who’s saying it? Not the reader (an observer) and surely not the author (the compiler). The fact is there is no voice: no origin, identity, or subject outside of language.
And seeing how language ceaselessly defers meaning, any appeal to authorial interpretation is an act of closing discussion, while without it the text is allowed to breathe. It’s also worth noting that primacy of the author equates to glory of the critic, as the critic can work with the author in declaring theological meaning. Both come out on top. Only by dismantling the Author-God mythos can both the text and reader live fruitfully in dialectic. Here I’ll explain an important distinction in structuralism: ‘work’ and ‘text.’ Work is the finished commodity; the physical work of art that has commercial value and legally belongs to the Author. But text is the reader’s experience of the art. It belongs to him and is not an artifact, but a living compromise between work and audience.

Thus a work can be consumed, but a text is produced; a work is dead and a text is alive; work is closed signified and text is open signifier; a work can be destroyed but a text is impervious to ‘manhandling.’ With this in mind author is only relevant when discussing a work; with text it is better to use the term ‘scriptor’, who does not precede a work (like the author) but is created simultaneously with the text. Here the reader may become slightly offended and call Barthes derisive. Doesn’t the author deserve some credit, even as a ‘compiler’? Well sure, but addressing the need to celebrate or console the author is not literature’s concern.
Instead the field focuses on what can be done with a book, in which the text and reader are relevant, not the author, and perhaps only occasionally the scriptor. Barthes in fact argues that the whole deification of the author, or artist, evolved from modern humanistic positivism, where agency and individual creativity was the agenda. We need to recognize that nobility or ethics or whatever are values, which need to be set aside to adequately do theory.
Again, if this seems too mean we should remember that all Barthes is doing is empowering the reader and text by siphoning fixation from the author. Books don’t have an ultimate ‘meaning’; they cannot be ‘deciphered’ or ‘penetrated’. They can only be disentangled; studied; surveyed. Art has no agenda, whether it be science, ethics, God, or Marxism. Only people do. Art is merely a unique culmination of culture and signs and meanings that can be explored. Each reader is valuable as a unique culmination himself.
The difference is that without a reader a text is nothing: none of the signs are witnessed and thus left empty. Their fulfillment is accomplished by the reader, who helps create the text. What’s so cool about this is that the dehumanization of modernism is in many ways liberating. If we understand that there’s nothing wrong with being a ‘subject’ rather than person, ‘conflux of forces’ rather than agent, we can better see the similarities between art and reality. How both are constructed of deferred meaning, not absolute truth. There’s more here, but I’ll leave it be for now. Death of the Author is wonderful and something I’ll revisit as I continue to pursue theory.

(I'm talking to you, JK Rowling.). One does not always have to agree with a particular stance of criticism or maybe must not.

Space burials launch cremated remains out of the atmosphere. Space burial refers to the blasting of cremated remains into outer space. Missions may go into orbit around the Earth, to other planetary bodies (such as the Moon), or into deep space. The cremated remains are not actually scattered in space, and thus do not contribute to. Instead, the ashes remain sealed inside their spacecraft until the spacecraft either: re-enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up upon re-entry (Earth orbit missions); reaches its final, extraterrestrial destination (e.g.
The Moon); or escapes the solar system (deep space missions). To a lesser extent, suborbital flights provide the opportunity to briefly fly ashes into space and return them back to Earth for recovery. Only a sample of remains is launched so as to make the service affordable. Private companies such as, Inc., and Limited., offer space burial services.
Gene Roddenberry (third from the right) in 1976 with most of the cast of Star Trek at the rollout of the at the plant at, USA First Flights The first space burial occurred in 1992 when the NASA space shuttle Columbia (mission ) carried a portion of Gene Roddenberry's cremated remains into space and returned them to Earth. The first private space burial, Celestis' Earthview 01: The Founders Flight, was launched on April 21, 1997. An aircraft, departing from the, carried a containing samples of the remains of 24 people to an altitude of 11 km (38,000 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean. The rocket then carried the remains into an elliptical orbit with an of 578 km (359 mi) and a of 551 km (342 mi), orbiting the Earth once every 96 minutes until reentry on May 20, 2002, northeast of Australia. Famous people on this flight included and.

Suborbital flights While not technically spaceflights, these are sometimes counted among space burials. The remains do not burn up and are either recovered or lost.
Moon Burials The first moon burial was that of Dr., a portion of whose cremated remains were flown to the Moon by NASA. Shoemaker's former colleague, a University of Arizona professor, proposed and produced the tribute of having Shoemaker's ashes launched aboard the NASA's spacecraft. Ten days after Shoemaker's passing, Porco had the go-ahead from NASA administrators and delivered the ashes to the Lunar Prospector Mission Director Scott Hubbard at the NASA Ames Research Center. The ashes were accompanied by a piece of brass foil inscribed with an image of a Comet Hale-Bopp, an image of Meteor Crater in northern Arizona, and a passage from ’s Romeo and Juliet.
The Lunar Prospector spacecraft was launched on January 6, 1998 and impacted the south polar region of the moon on July 31, 1999. Upcoming missions are proposed by both Elysium Space and Celestis as part of an upcoming mission by of Pittsburgh. Pet Burials In 2014, Celestis launched Celestis Pets, a pet memorial spaceflight service for animal cremated remains. Prior to then, a may have flown on a 2012 memorial spaceflight. When this news broke, Celestis' President said that if dog ashes were on the rocket, the person who supplied the cremated remains likely violated the contract they signed with Celestis.
Dedicated Spacecraft On May 17, 2017, announced the world's first memorial flight involving a dedicated spacecraft. The will be placed as a secondary payload on a rocket as part of a dedicated rideshare mission called SSO-A planned. The launch will take place from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
