| Description | This paper focuses on the issue of interpretation of texts, in particular on the relationship between the per- sonality and intent of the author and his/her text. It ma- kes use of various literary theories, especially of the seminal piece of writing in this context: The Death of the Author by Roland Barthes. The paper follows his line of argumentation and subsequently addresses also related approaches. The findings are further discussed in relation to the interpretation of legal texts, in par- ticular the issue of purposive interpretation in law. |
