Authorship’s Wake: Writing After the Death of the Author

Philip Sayers

4.9/5 (11299 ratings)

Description:What happens when a radical new idea becomes the status quo? When one generation of thinkers demolishes a set of commonly held assumptions, how do members of the next generation respond? These are the large-scale questions that motivate Authorship's Wake, which examines the aftermath of the 1960s critique of the author, epitomized by Roland Barthes's famous essay, “The Death of the Author.” Authorship's Wake examines the enduring legacy of the critique of the author as an all-controlling figure determining the meaning of literary texts-a critique that, in turn, participates in the broader poststructuralist interrogation of the rational, autonomous, and self-transparent Enlightenment subject. The book's archive consists of texts by writers who either directly participated in this critique, as Barthes did, or whose intellectual formation took place in its immediate aftermath. These writers include some who are known primarily as theorists (such as Judith Butler), others who are known primarily as novelists (Zadie Smith and David Foster Wallace), and yet others whose texts are difficult to categorize (the autofiction of Chris Kraus, Sheila Heti, and Ben Lerner and the autotheory of Maggie Nelson). All of them, Sayers's argue, are participants in an ongoing transgeneric conversation about the aesthetic, ethical, political, and economic stakes of authorship.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
