• Resumen

  • In Barthes' seminal essay, the "death of the author" refers to a figurative event that, as he sees it, allows readers to escape the "tyrann[y]" of authorial intention and thus become creators rather than merely passive receivers of meaning (143). [...]authors are not just constructs; they are also human beings for whom death is a very real event.
