The Reader in the Text: Essays on Audience and Interpretation (Princeton Legacy Library)

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (34158 ratings)

Description:A reader may be "in" a text as a character is in a novel, but also as one is in a train of thought-both possessing and being possessed by it. This paradox suggests the ambiguities inherent in the concept of audience. In these original essays, a group of international scholars raises fundamental questions about the statusbe it rhetorical, semiotic and structuralist, phenomenological, subjective and psychoanalytic, sociological and historical, or hermeneutic-of the audience in relation to a literary or artistic text. Susan Suleiman's introduction shows how the nature and function of the audience have come to the forefront of American and Continental criticism in recent years. On the one hand is a belief in the text as an organic, autonomous, and identifiable entity; on the other are various attempts to deconstruct the notion of textual unity and authority. Inge Crosman's annotated bibliography of works from America and Europe underscores the importance of audience-oriented criticism. Other contributors are: Jonathan Culler, Tzvetan Todorov, Karlheinz Stierle, Wolfgang Iser, Christine Brooke-Rose, Robert Crosman, Naomi Schor, Pierre Maranda, Jacques Leenhardt, Gerald Prince, Peter Rabinowitz, Cathleen Bauschatz, Louis Marin, Michel Beaujour, Norman Holland, and Vicki Mistacco. Susan R. Suleiman is Assistant Professor of French at Occidental College. Inge Crosman is Associate Professor of French Studies at Brown University.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
