Description
Summary:About El ciudadano ilustre and the mediatization of the author as a star figure and the phenomenon of the author’s importance more than the writer’s work. People want to be a fan. In addition, the article makes a brief explanation of the structuralism positions of literary criticism, which in the mid-twentieth century postulated the “death of the author” and the birth of the theory of reception, that is, the importance of the reader and interpretation much more than of authorship and intentionality of the author. However, the author was taking more and more prominence, although he does it outside the text. The author ceases to be a function within the text and becomes enormously important as a person of flesh and blood.
