Re: The Death of the Author debate is way too blinkered in scope
Speaking only for myself. I generally don't care what an author, critic or the fanbase says about a work. I only really look at the work itself.
Generally, if I make a comment on something and I hear a response from someone along the lines of "Well, this source outside the work says..." I disregard that as an interpretation influenced by outside context. Nothing against that approach, I just don't find it engaging nor interesting.
I'm sure there's plenty of art I enjoy wrong or can't enjoy because of that, but I've never really been bothered by such things.

blog in my spare time.
