symbolic possibilities and social, cultural, political, and psychological implications of a text are exploded and explored apart from the author's intentions. the process or impetus of the work's creation is consciously avoided or it's, at most, an afterthought.

this is, of course, smoke and mirrors, in my opinion. author and work and audience are components in a unified system (see my name). but don't tell them that.
