At the beginning of the fifth section of her paper, Robyn Ferrell states that "The border between philosophy and literature is maintained by a certain theory of meaning and this theory implicates a view of subjectivity that places intentionality at its centre.' (p. 159) Her project, as I understand it, is to show the inadequacy of this theory by questioning both its conception of meaning and its conception of subjectivity. The theory in question she associates with analytic philosophy and she contrasts it with a "continental' approach, taking Searle as representative of at least one strand in the former, and Derrida as representative of at least one strand in the latter.
