Bit of a problem today with a Muslim student who thought I was making an adverse statement about the author of the Qu'ran during a class on Roland Barthes' 'Death of the Author'.
If ever this theory should apply to anything, it has to be to this issue wherein a text's meaning is constantly misinterpreted with disastrous consequences.
But then again, why should he take on board any Western theory?
