From"Death of the Author"to"Birth of the Text":On the Theoretical Call for Roland Barthes'Concept of"Death of the Author"
The"death of the author"is one of the most powerful and inspiring theoretical ideas in Roland Barthes'textual theory,and the"birth of the text"is the new literary atmosphere and literary environment that Roland Barthes hoped for by calling on the read-ers who are involved in literary activities.The discussion of writing itself demonstrates Roland Barthes's theoretical understanding of the identities of"writer"and"author,"and in turn lays the groundwork for his concept of"text"which connects the practice of writing with the practice of receiving.The concept of"text",which connects the practice of writing and the practice of reception,lays the foundation for Barthes'concept of"text".The theory of"death of the author"has both theoretical and practical significance in the process of literary construction today.The concept of"text",which is different from the work,can not only unify the"death of the au-thor"and the"birth of the text"in the overall literary activity,but also confirms the continuity and homogeneity of the literary practice of authors and readers around the"text".
