why, what's wrong? you don't agree with barthes?

Both, dependent on the context and how far you take it.

That is, it's a fine tool when it's just one of many in your box, but going overboard leads to preposterous readings where nothing means anything anymore, which defeats the purpose of making meaning.

>yay or nay

Look at this fucking idiot

ITS "YEA" YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF GARBAGE

Yea means yes. Yay is the sound you make when you have a dick in your ass.

>>8355223
Yes.

Correct answer.

I think the author is the God of their work, their word on it is law. Unfortunately, an author isn't immortal, so there's a good chance we'll never know what they know their works mean.

Kill, resuscitate, kill, resuscitate, kill resuscitate: ad infinitum.

The author is and is not important.
