The symposium included several discussions, the first of which aimed to discuss the theoretical premises of Roland Barthes’ idea of the death of the author.

The third axis aimed to show the impact of this hypothesis on the methods of modern criticism
The symposium recommended reconsidering the death of the author as a philosophical proposition rather than a fixed scientific method. The symposium also emphasized the importance of balancing between the text and its author in the processes of interpretation and analysis, and openness to the integration of critical approaches instead of rigid separation between them. It also emphasized the need for researchers to read imported concepts consciously and relate them to the Arab cultural context.
