The invisible auther: debating authorship in literary distopia

Abstract

The literary tradition and even more modern questions related to the intellectual production give total emphasis to the author figure. In the current visions the author would be basically an individual who produces ideas and/ or artistic manifestations which refer to his own trajectory and subjectivity. The author would be understood as one subject, producer of specific manifestations which depend exclusively on him to exist. The notion of author looses a little of its strength with the XX century´s Psychology development and after that with the creation of the Discourse Analyses, which puts the author as influenced by the historical context and the discourse of the Other.
