At 48 minutes in, Daniel Ferrer proposes that the notion of implied author (from Wayne Booth) be set alongside a passage from Paul Valéry about how the author in the process of composing makes a series of choices out of an aleatory flow. Ferrer invites us to consider that the chance operations of reception are inscribed in the moment of genesis: in the decisions made by an author who from that moment is subject to change as much as the text they are constructing.
