The Text: Between its Conceptual Changeability and Infinite Meaning

Abstract

The present research paper aims to explore the concept of the literary text in relation to the diversity of critical approaches, whether textual or interpretative. The main objective is understanding how these approaches have created a rich academic foundation for various critical perspectives. This raises the question of whether prevalent critical methods such as formalism, structuralism, stylistics, and semiotics have succeeded in developing a methodological strategy that effectively defines the text's meaning?
