This subject is endlessley complex, and unresolvable. Shout 'Impasse' and run. Studying hermenuetics, is studying a circle. De Man says of it: A Sisyphean task. - I can't even begin to assess it in an academic style, or think of any resolve. It is rooted in vast ontological problematics - and there is no way of resolution, short of, resolving the nature of our being and the nature of art.
The death of the author, I think, is the end of speaking of literature, or art of any kind, as reducible to an intention/origin, which I feel was Gadamer's point in Truth and Method.
I think that origins have no place in aesthetic discourse. Cognition subordinates (copy of idea, inferior and superior, conditions of possibility, etc.); there are no hierarchies when speaking aesthetically: there is only endless alterity -- the infinite of the sublime.
