Re: structuralism

["jarrod rager" <jarrod_rager at hotmail_com>]

well said Fred,

true sructuralism doesn't necessarily completely throw out the author or 
creator of a work, i think Foucault and even Barthes to an extent would say 
that anything produced and sent into the mainstream for mass consumption 
rather than personal use has become something different than a live 
performance of said piece.  when the creator is there, improper 
communication and disagreements about the work can be discussed with the 
creator - where as a recorded or written work is seperated from the creator 
and must hold its own apart from defense.  this system will inveribly cause 
horific problems with folks who are creative types and hold that they 
deserve some sort of credit for their work - when indeed they have created 
no meaning at all. meaning - if holding to structuralism - is garnered at 
the exact reading and interpretation of the work which will the 
simultaneously become a text, kinda kool.

sorry if these ramblings bother anyone, i just read Barthe's "Death of the 
Author" & Foucault's "what is an Author"

please be graceful
