The Specter of the Death of the AuthorThe announcement of an author’s death is a recurrent theme in literature and literary criticism. Such announcements can be studied in the work of Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Claire Parnet and Antoine Compagnon in terms of the failure of prophecy and the manifestos of self-dissolution within the framework of institutional analysis. The specter of death « decomposes » the unity of the social form of« author » and brings out the relations of force which constitute it.
