Document Summary
For the essay: we can use the 1st person but not extensively (for example when stating the thesis/outline). Distinction between texts and works (livingston and barthes). Barthes thinks about the text as the thing that one studies when interpreting. Goodman thinks on the other hand that the work is the object of study. Goodman thinks that text and work refer to the same thing: saying that you"re studying a text means you"re studying a work. That same thing can be identified syntactically in relationship to a notational system. Other philosophers also embrace barthes" view: text and work are not co-referential. Livingston, although he agrees with the idea that text and work are not identical, conceives of text and work as two things being very different from what barthes describes. Authorship: filiation is part of the concept of closure. Work is something treated in connection with closure.
