	Death of the Author
		In his landmark essay, “Death of the Author,” Roland Barthes demonstrates that an author is not simply a “person” but a socially and historically constituted subject.
		Death of the Author does not claim that the person who wrote the text never existed—clearly Hemingway and Fitzgerald did exist; rather it suggests that in important ways authors cannot be fully aware of or conscious of the effects of their writing.
		What Death of the Author helps us realize: Meaning does not reside in the author; the author’s intentions are not the only meaning of a text, and more importantly, the author’s intentions do not foreclose upon other meanings.

	Death of the author - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Death of the Author" (1968) is an essay by the French literary critic Roland Barthes that appeared in an anthology of his essays, Image-Music-Text (1977), a book that also included "From Work To Text".
		No longer the locus of creative influence, the author is merely a “scriptor” (a word Barthes uses expressly to disrupt the traditional continuity of power between the terms “author” and “authority”).
		Like the dethroning of a monarchy, the “death of the author” clears political space for the multi-voiced populace at large, ushering in the long-awaited “birth of the reader.”

	Author - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The phrase "Death of the Author" was popularized by Roland Barthes in his 1968 essay with the same name.
		The death of the author is in self-conscious opposition to the New Criticism, a literary critical movement popular in England and America in the first half of the 20th century.
		Commissioned: Publishers made publication arrangments, and authors covered all expenses (today the practice of authors paying for their publications is often called vanity publishing, and is looked down upon by many publishers, even though it may have been a common and accepted practice in the past).

	The 'death of the author' as an instance of theory
		One of the strikes against autobiographies and biographies as guides to an author's thought and meanings is that they themselves are writing, conforming to certain conventions, constructing a plot-line from the intricate and intermingled complexities of an inner and outer life.
		It is not a long step from the modernist position of the retreat or disappearance of the author to the idea that the concept of the author as a concept through which to read and understand literature has lost its salience and validity and is more likely to mislead than to illumine.
		For the purposes of the death of the author, the functionality of language which is most important is the first mentioned, the idea that meaning is created through difference, not through identity.

	Barthes, "The Death of the Author"
		The image of literature to be found in ordinary culture is tyrannically centered on the author, his person, his life, his tastes, his passions, while criticism still consists for the most part in saying that Baudelaire's work is the failure of Baudelaire the man, van Gogh's his madness, Tchaikovsky's his vice.
		The Author, when believed in, is always conceived of as the past of his own book: book and author stand automatically on a single line divided into a before and an after.
		The Author is though to nourish the book, which is to say that he exists before it, thinks, suffers, lives for it, is in the same relation of antecedence to his work as a father to his child.

		"Abstract: The article transposes the text of Roland Barthes' "Death of the Author," (La Mort de L’auteur) (1968), to the arena of happenings in cyberspace, and examines the implications from the point of view of author-reader-text, active in the electronic environment.
		The text that was in a state of superposition throughout the network, or in Barthes’ definition "multi-dimensional space in which many and varied writings are combined and meet, and none are foremost" becomes a single peak wave function that appears on the reader’s display.
		Cyberspace accelerated the reading process to the speed of light, and led to a dramatic turning point of the disappearing of the traditional author, text, and reader, and the birth of the new Super-Reader-Author.

		It is one of the ironies of postmodernism that Roland Barthes’s claim to literary immortality comes from having pronounced the "death of the author." What he meant was that an author’s intentions in creating a text are irrelevant in interpreting that text.
		The death of the author was life for the critic.
		The announcement of the death of the author came after the fact, recognizing a dramatic shift in cultural power that had already occurred.

		..."It has survived the centuries because it discusses the universal topic of death with a refreshing approach, one that causes people to reevaluate their concepts of death," the author has given the reader a reason to continue reading the paper by involving the reader.
		"Death, thou shall die," this is obviously a contradiction because death is the result of a killing, not a living thing that can be killed.
		The author of the essay sets up enough data to support the overall theme of the paper, which is as follows: "Even though death can be a terrible, powerful, and indiscriminate, we shall overcome it in the end, because when death comes for us we will surpass it and forever beyond its reach."

		Roland Barthes' landmark essay, "The Death of Author," however, demonstrates that an author is not simply a "person" but a socially and historically constituted subject.
		Thus the author cannot claim any absolute authority over his or her text because, in some ways, he or she did not write it.
		The real allure of hypertext, it may turn out, is not its alliance with the writerly text, but with The Book, with its possibilities, through fixed links and narrow path choices, of ever more ingenious ways of directing, controlling and surprising the reader.

	Reader's guide to Foucault's "What is an author?"
		Foucault closes this section by introducing his concept of the "author function." Note that the "author function" is not a person and is not to be confused with either the "author" or the "writer." The "author function" is more like a set of beliefs or assumptions governing the production, circulation, classification and consumption of texts.
		The "author function" is linked to the legal system and arises as a result of the need to punish those responsible for transgressive statements.
		Near the end of the essay, Foucault argues that the author is not a source of infinite meaning, as we often like to imagine, but rather part of a larger system of beliefs that serve to limit and restrict meaning.
