| Summary: | This article discusses the role of the author, by the formulations of theorists of literature, adopts philosophical hermeneutics as a theoretical matrix and aims to contribute to the theoretical-methodological debate that involves research and studies in law and literature. To this purposes, theoretical postulates are offered in which, concerning the author's role, were developed by the main currents of modern literary criticism, culminating with the idea of the author's death and the resulting discussion. Next, we approach the notion of the hermeneutic circle and its relationship with the analytic-interpretative path that articulates author, text and reader in the interpretation of literary narratives. Finally, we seek to demonstrate - through George Orwell's novel “1984” - the extent to which the author's historical context can contribute to the attribution of meaning to the text. |
