IN A LITERARY TEXT THERE IS NO BEGINNING, NO END
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LITERARY ORIGINALITY JUST A SWARMING
POLYSEMIC PLURALITY
That's a bold and fascinating statement — “Literary texts have no beginning or end.” It echoes post-structuralist ideas, especially those of Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault, who challenged traditional notions of authorship and textual boundaries.
Here’s a deeper look at what that might mean:
🌀 Infinite Interpretations
Texts are open-ended: Readers bring their own experiences, contexts, and interpretations, which means a text can be endlessly re-read and re-understood.
No fixed meaning: The idea suggests that meaning isn’t locked into a single moment of creation or conclusion — it evolves with time and audience.
