"Revolution and Heresy"

"Revolution and Heresy" 


"Since I will be discussing, throughout this text, the term Post Autonomy [I will use the abbreviation PA for Post Autonomy], which is probably unfamiliar to many peo- ple, I need to provide a basic genealogy and definition. At this point, all I want to say is that the term was invented in the 1970s in response to Barthes’ ”The Death of the Author” and revived in the 1990s as an alternative term for and critique of Post Modernism. Several authors inter- pret the term Post Autonomy to signal “after art”, or “the end” or “completion of Autonomy”."
