Re: Anyone got any tips for adopting a Death of the Author mindset?

I mean, I don't remember doing any sneering.

But I agree about the texts intentions being only half the point - I think thats what your getting at - and that those intentions need to come through correctly and be understood correctly for that point the creator was driving at to be fully realised.

Trouble is, now that I'm primed with the knowledge of what the creator meant, how do I fail to see that particular message. I mean, they would have to fuck it up pretty bad for me to not see what they were getting at now that I know that was their intention.

I would say that a text's intentions are much less than half the point, to be honest. The text itself has to be the central thing.

Now, I mean, in this case, it seems very likely that what the text says and what the creator intended it to say are very close. So it's kind of not a significant distinction in this case, and there's also probably not much you can do about it at that point.
