Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report contains six papers presented at a conf erence on "Literature as cornmunication", arranged by the Department of Cornmunication Studies at the University of Linköping in April 1983. Comrnon to the papers is that they all deal with problems of the reception of literature and present theoretical o r empirical evidence for what goes on when works of literature are understood , interpreted and evaluated. A unifying perspective is that literary texts are given meaning, significance and value through individual reading processes.Two of the papers discuss theoretical issues: one, what constitutes processes of understanding and interpretation and how these processes are related; the other, how a new concept of "literary text" can be established on empirical evidence from response research. The remaining four papers present differentaspects of empirical research: on theatrical performances of works by the Kenyan authorNgugi wa Thiong'o, on criteria of evaluation as used by different groups of readers, on the understanding of metaphors among three groups of young readers, and on the frames of refe rence used by critics in their reviews of literature.
