But what about the "death of the author" and the limits of human communication? Post-modern theory suggests that an author's intent is irrelevant compared to the number of ways a message can be received.
A good example is e-mailing someone on the net. Emotional nuance is hard to transmit via text, and a certain emotional tone can be received by the reader even if there is no emotion present.
I think good communication depends on being a good speaker and a good listener. A good listener tries to divest themselves of any preconceptions.
