Understanding Author-function with Others

I went on the word of Professor McGuire and searched up Author-function and a blogger named Scriberuslives had many things to say in relation to herself a s an author-function.

She speaks of text as standing by itself. In this essence the author dies. The author-function is made not by the person who writes but by the writer. She says that she in person is not scriberuslives. She instead is a individual, seperate from the author and the text. The text is the result or even creation of the author. The author creates this text but she explains it as being indepenedant. The text stands independantly away from the author bot being a result and also having/creating its own identity.

She then talks about if a person had actually come along and wrote like Scribleus. Would those words be any less Scriblus like? Especially if the issues at hand were similar, would the writing be different. She is Scriberluslives, speaking in the "voice" of Scriberlus. She is yet a seperate person but also an author writing in the same style as another author.

Getting a Grasp on Lacan

I am still trying to grasp what Lacan is saying but this is basically what I have so far. Lacan focuses his studies and theories on the idea of the self. He thinks that the unconscious is the center of our beings. Lacan goes against the American psychiatric way of reaffirming the ego. Basically Lacan brings into question the theory of “I.” He explains that a person is born into a structure. In this structure the individual is constructed through language. Through this, Lacan questions the famous line by Rene Descartes “I think, therefore I am.” Descartes states that the “I” must exist because I think. Therefore the individual is self aware.

I believe that the I is an individual and there are many aspects that contribute to what the individual is. Every person is different, which creates the unique individual in all of us. Others do have an effect on you but I believe that you create who you truly are. Other outside forces do have an effect on you but you basically decide what you obtain from outside forces and what you disregard from outside sources.
