It doesn't necessarily involve real intent, though, but the construction of an author-function, which moves it back into representation and spectatorship. I don't know Ari's real intent, as I don't have access to her psyche, just her journal, but I construct her as an author (feminist, queer, and most of all, fan) in certain ways based on what I do know, which in turn influences how the text is read, regardless of whether Ari is "really" an android from Alpha Centauri.
