the time will come
when nothing keeps us apart.

yes may.
control.
its for your own good.
ha.
i always knew i meant nothing.
quite a fair bit of contextual knowledge needed there LOL.
lang arts!
author centred approach?
reader centred approach?
text centred approach?
if you use the author centred approach,
it is hard to find out what the author is actually thinking.
to check to see if the meaning is the same as that of the author's,
you have to go and read up on my biographies,
and conduct interviews with me to find out about my background.
and you have to assume that i am telling the truth.
reader centred approach;
Theory of indeterminacy:
there are implied readers and actual readers.
if you are not the implied reader,
misreadings are possible,
that is because there are indeterminate elements in the text
that the reader has to fill in with creative participation.
Reception theory:
readers make meaning based on their own horizon of expectations.
misreadings are not possible as there is no one correct meaning.
the meaning is also diachronic and synchronic,
therefore, meanings can change over time.
authorial intention is not taken into consideration.
Interpretive communities:
each community has a reading strategy.
these strategies are incommensurable. (?)
close reading,
by interpreting the language devices found in the text,
one is able to derive a meaning from it.
this meaning is universal and does not change.
the meaning is thus found on the text.
the intentional fallacy and the affective fallacy does not come into question.
HA.
im going crazy i tell you.
but i like langarts.
ok typing all those nonsense has made me relax a little.
im not so agitated now.
yes may, keep your cool.
hm.
im starting to really like my class.
