If each text is seen as presenting a major claim that attempts to dominate, erase, or distort various ‘other’ claims (whose traces nevertheless remain detectable to a reader who goes against the grain of the dominant claim), then “reading” in its extended sense is deeply involved in questions of authority and power” (346).
