    The document discusses Wolfgang Iser's phenomenological approach to the reading process. It outlines two poles of a literary work - the artistic text created by the author, and the aesthetic realization accomplished by the reader. When a reader engages with the text, the literary work comes into existence through the convergence of text and reader experiences. This convergence can never be precisely defined as reading causes the literary work to unfold dynamically. The reading process involves anticipation at the beginning, retrospection at the end, and interpretation achieved through apparent familiarity and subsequent negation opening the reader up to the text's workings beyond preconceptions.

    THE RELATION OF

    PHENOMENOLOGY WITH

    READER EXPERIENCES IN

    READING LITERARY WORK


    The convergence of the text of reader brings the

    literary work into existence, and this convergence

    can never be precisely pinpointed. Thus, reading

    causes the literary work to unfold its inherently

    dynamic character.

    ANTICIPATION AND RETROSPECTION

    IN THE READING PROCESS

    ANTICIPATION RETROSPECTION
    retrospection is the opposite of
    Anticipation is how does our anticipation, if anticipation occours at
    the beginning then retrospection
    awareness as a reader create occours at the end.
    a variety of foreshadowing.


    “Whatever we have read sinks into our
    memory and is foreshortened. It may
    ”while these expectations later be evoked again and set against a
    arouse interest in what is to different background with the result
    that the reader is enabled to develop

    HOW READERS

    ACHIEVE TEXTUAL

    INTERPRETATION
    The efficacy of a literary text is brought

    about by the apparent occasion and

    subsquent negation of the familiar. Through

    this entanglement, the reader is bound to

    open himself up to the workings of the text,

    and so leave behind his own preconceptions.
