Notes
Intentional Fallacy
· Was an essay written in a collaboration by W.K. Wimsatt and Monroe Beardsley
· Fallacy a component in an argument which renders the whole argument invalid
· The essay is basically: the design or the intentions of an author do not matter when judging the essay
· The term itself is somewhat ambiguous but it basically means a fallacy of intent or a fallacy committed on purpose
· Internal Evidence: Is present as fact of the given work, (poems, historical facts, etc)
· External Evidence: Not actually in the work itself, (comment, reviews, conversations about the work, etc)
· Contextual Evidence: third kind of evidence concerns any meanings derived from the specific work's relationship to other art made by this particular artist
· Summary of above: Thus, a text's internal evidence — the words themselves, and their meanings — is fair game for literary analysis. External evidence — anything not contained within the text itself, such as information about the poet's life — belongs to literary biography, not literary criticism. Preoccupation with the author "leads away from the poem." According to New Criticism, a poem does not belong to its author, but rather "it is detached from the author at birth and goes about the world beyond his power to intend about it or control it. The poem belongs to the public." It is the Contextual evidence that presents the greatest potential for intentional fallacies of interpretation. Analysis using this type of evidence can easily become more concerned with external evidence than the internal content of the work.
· A death of an author
The Death of an Author by Roland Barthes
· In the essay it criticizes the reader’s tendency to consider aspects of the author’s identity
· Such as the authors political, religious, historical views and or ethnicity, personal attributes and their pats life experiences and what not
· Basically to judge their work based on the authors life as oppose judging their literature on their actually literature
· Basically it’s like not giving text any author, so you base it on text and text alone
· The work should be criticized based on the impressions of the reader and not the passions or tastes of the writer
· The meaning doesn’t lie with the origin it lies with the language itself and the impression on the reader
· I talks about how can you know exactly what the writer intended if you yourself are not the writer, unless you share the same mind that is…
· “The destruction of every voice” adheres to one interpretation
· It is the language that speaks for itself
· They can’t be a blur between the writer and the characters
· Intentional fallacies declare a poem is not attached to its author yet detached from the author at birth and goes about the world on its own
· The poem will belong to anyone who reads it
Affective Fallacy
· Affective fallacy is a term from literary criticism used to refer to the supposed error of judging or evaluating a text on the basis of its emotional effects on a reader. The term was coined by W.K. Wimsatt and Monroe Beardsley as a principle of New Criticism."The report of some readers . . . that a poem or story induces in them vivid images, intense feelings, or heightened consciousness, is neither anything which can be refuted nor anything which it is possible for the objective critic to take into account."
