 What interests him are the social, historical, institutional and discursive limits, and conventions, of the author.

What is meant here by 'the conventions of the author'?

Conventions are usual practices.

An author is a writer.

Thanks a lot.

 

I didn't know that the word 'convention' had that meaning. For me it meant more a 'rule' set down by society.
