Der ›implizite Autor‹. Zur Explikation und Verwendung eines umstrittenen Begriffs

Abstract: Zur Explikation und Verwendung eines umstrittenen BegriffsUnser Beitrag beklagt, dies sei vorausgeschickt, weder den Tod des Autors, noch feiert er dessen Wiederauferstehung -er beschäftigt sich gewissermaßen mit dessen Transsubstantiation. In seinem Mittelpunkt steht einer der erfolgreichsten, wenngleich von Beginn an umstrittenen Begriffe der Literaturwissenschaft des 20. Jahrhunderts: der von Wayne C. Booth geprägte Begriff des implied author. Nur auf eine mittelbare Weise wird die Diskussion dieses Begriff… Show more

“…The concept of the implied author has been severely criticised for its vagueness, inconsistency, indeterminacy between structure and intentionality, insufficiently defined theoretical status, et cetera (Bal, 1981;Nünning, 1993;Kindt & Müller, 1999). To avoid these associations, the term is here replaced by "subject of composition" or "textual subject".…”

“…Narratologists who actually concern themselves with the concept are therefore also often doing it with more or less critical recourse to Booth's account, being the personified narrator's diverging rendering of facts and his or her di¤erent values compared to those of the implied author or their counterpart -the implied reader (see, for example, Rimmon-Kenan 1983;Bal 1997;Wall 1994;andChatman 1978, 1990). But the questions as to the relevance and function of the implied author -raised from such diverse positions as Genette (1988), Nü nning (1997b), Kindt andMü ller (1999a, 1999b), and im-and explicitly by Cohn (1978) and Fludernik (2001) -still do not seem to have been satisfactorily answered. Chatman, being a hard-line defender of the concept, started out suggesting that we should change the focus made by Booth on 'a core of norms and choices' towards more semiotically apt notions as 'codes and conventions ' (see, e.g., Chatman 1978: 73).…”
