Three Levels of Ideology

Hollindale's most renowned theory was that of the three levels of ideology in a text, which pertained to all four modern reading approaches (author-centred, reader-centred, text-centred, world-view-centred).

The levels are as follows: 1) The author's profound message in a text 2) The unexamined assumptions of the author 3) The ideologies of the author's world

gollark: You might as well stand in the sun or something, that being red and all.
gollark: Hmm, the abstract suggests that I would in fact have to point the TV remote at my head for a minute or more.
gollark: My school holiday technically doesn't start until next week.
gollark: I'd assume "smart" TVs also use bluetooth-y remotes for some reason, but we've avoided them, fortunately.
