Transindividual structures, not authorial intention, anchor strong interpretation today.

Evidence

Yet these transindividual entities are the very locus of interpretation today, in its strongest sense (for good or ill). Far more than the debates over authorial intention, such continental concepts have provided the most frequent alibis for critical hypotheses about meanings not intended by their authors (nor does the Gadamer-Hirsch exchange really do justice to the complexity of such issues). — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 477
