Autoripõhisele

Autoripõhisele is an Estonian term that translates to "author-based" or "based on the author." It refers to a method of evaluation, categorization, or analysis that prioritizes the creator's input, perspective, or contribution. This concept can be applied in various fields.

In literature and academia, autoripõhisele analysis might involve examining a text through the lens of the author's known biography, intentions, or philosophical stance. It suggests that understanding the author is key to understanding the work itself. Conversely, this approach can be contrasted with reader-response criticism, which emphasizes the interpreter's role.

In creative industries, autoripõhisele can describe a project where the author's vision is paramount, and their creative control is extensive. This might be seen in filmmaking where a director has a strong authorial voice, or in music where a songwriter's personal experiences heavily influence the lyrics and melody.

The term also appears in discussions about intellectual property and copyright, highlighting the rights and recognition due to the original author. It underscores the idea that the author is the primary source and owner of a creative work. While it emphasizes the author's significance, it's important to consider potential limitations, such as over-reliance on authorial intent which may not always be fully ascertainable or universally applicable.
