deconstruction

The paper’s aimed at elaborating and reinterpreting certain potentials of Radosvet Kolarov’s theory of autotextuality in order to revise the question of the relation between autotextual systems (idiolects) and difference, which has been mentioned and left unaddressed in “Repetition and Creation”. The paper researches the problematic of autotextual differences from the perspective of the question of the iterability of language constructs and its effects on the constitution and further interpretation of autotextual systems. Starting from that assumption, the text suggests a reading of Radosvet Kolarov’s theory as a specific deconstruction of authorship as an epistemological obstacle for the interpretation of texts framed by an author’s oeuvre.
