Svetlana Alexievich
“Dios nos mandó la señal de que el hombre ya no vive en la tierra como en su propia casa, sino que es un huésped. Somos unos invitados de ella.”
Svetlana Alexievich, Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster

“Open text is one of a pair of terms popularized by Eco to refer to kinds of interpretative interactions between text and reader. An open text, unlike a closed one such as a work of popular fiction, is not aimed at a specific reader in a specific social context. It is also open in that its theme, structure and language are more complex, less explicit, more "open-ended": what other critics as Barthes in reception theory would call "Indeterminate". The open text constructs the model of its own reader as part of its structural strategy.”
Katie Wales
