As the U.S. occupation of Iraq dragged on, George W. Bush declared in April 2004 that the United States is "the greatest power on the face of the earth," and that "we have an obligation to help the spread of freedom. . . . That is what we have been called to do, as far as I'm concerned." In his inaugural address in January this year, Bush declared that the United States had been given a "mission" by the "Maker of Heaven" and "Author of Liberty" to spread freedom and democracy. And in May, Bush again asserted that encouraging "freedom's advance" is the "calling of our time. And America will do its duty."

Edward W. Said's Orientalism has long been celebrated for its ground-breaking analysis of the encounters between Western Orientalists and the Orient as a form of 'othering' representation. The success, undeniably, owes much to the use of Foucauldian discourse as a core methodology in Said's theorisation of Orientalism which allows Said to refer to the massive corpus of Orientalist writings as a form of Orientalist discourse and a representation of the East. However, the roles of Orientalist authors tend to be reduced to mere textual labels in a greater Orientalist discourse, in spite of the fact that Said attempts to give more attention to the Orientalists' biographical backgrounds. In this article, I argue that there is a need to review the question of agency that comes with Foucauldian discourse. By probing Said's methodology, I investigate the problems raised by concepts such as "strategic formation," "strategic location," and the writers' imprint. Borrowing Pierre Bourdieu's sociology, I critique Said's notion of 'author' by applying the question of objectivity/subjectivity raised by Bourdieu's concepts such as "habitus" and "strategy," and assess the possibility of shifting the emphasis on "texts" suggested by the use of Foucauldian discourse, to "actions" which are the main unit of study in Bourdieu's sociology.

The study deals with the communicative interaction between the author, the hero, the text, the reader in a postmodern novel. A similar and ambiguous reality, on the one hand, sometimes led to the subjectivist hypertrophy, absolutizing the author's world view, and at times minimized and devaluated the author's identity, on the other. Therefore, from the end of the 1990s the ways of expressing author's "Self" changed dramatically, which directly affected the means of creating a hero in the contemporary Ukrainian literature. An important place in the communicative literary model was occupied by the text as an independent semantic unit and the reader as an interpreter of the text. The specifics of deploying the dialog between the author and the hero point to the transformation of their functions in the Ukrainian postmodern novel. Considering the statement of the death of the author proclaimed by R. Barthes, the former stops being the main holistic text creator, thus rather becoming its product and the way of expression. The author, the hero and the text have a certain integrity aimed at the interpretative game with the recipient, who diffuses the newly created semantic integrity into a diversity of meanings.
