This period establishes the new aims and hence the new techniques as having “classic” validity, and is accompanied with a prestige that holds over into subsequent periods. Dewey’s notion that “new procedures” create “certain modifications of the old tradition” is strongly reminiscent of T.S. Eliot’s argument in “Tradition and the Individual Talent” that “existing monuments” form an ideal order among themselves, which is modified by the introduction of the new (the really new) work of art among them. The existing order is complete before the new work arrives; for order to persist after the supervention of novelty, the whole existing order must be, if ever so slightly, altered; and so the relations, proportions, values of each work of art toward the whole are readjusted; and this is conformity between the old and the new.

  • The Embodied Author: Problems of Authorship in the Work of Paul Auster
    The Embodied Author: Problems of Authorship in the Work of Paul Auster 1 Larissa Schortinghuis 3602249 1 Drawing by M.C. Escher, Drawing Hands (1948). 1 Acknowledgments It took quite a lot of effort to work out the ideas for this thesis and I would like to credit the people who have helped me enormously while I was working on it. First I would like to thank my thesis supervisor, Susanne Knittel, for making this a fun experience and being just as excited about the ideas as I was. Secondly, I would like to thank Marloes Hoogendoorn for the idea of putting Escher’s drawing on my front page and general support. Thirdly, I want to thank Victor Louwerse heartily for putting up with all my ranting and excitement when I figured out all the arguments and for giving me the final criticism when I needed it. Lastly, I would like to thank Japke van Uffelen, Annemarie Sint Jago and Laura Kaai for being my personal cheerleaders when things didn’t go so well. 2 The Embodied Author: Problems of Authorship in the Work of Paul Auster In 1968 Roland Barthes declared that the Author was dead. No longer was there one overruling interpretation that critics could find by going on a scholarly treasure hunt (Barthes, The Death of the Author 1325). The figure called the Author, that was presented as the God of his work and whose intentions were the key to deciphering his text, had now lost his authority. The reader was empowered and the author’s reign was over.
