Three levels of ideology
[edit]Hollindale's most renowned theory[according to whom?] was that of the three levels of ideology in a text, which pertained to all four modern reading approaches (author-centred, reader-centred, text-centred, world-view-centred).
The levels are as follows:
- The author's profound message in a text
- The unexamined assumptions of the author
- The ideologies of the author's world
