Authorship and materiality in S., by J. J. Abrams and Doug Dorst

Abstract

Basing ourselves on the traditional French theoretical chart of Discourse Analysis specifically on the developments proposed by Dominique Maingueneau (2006) for the study of the discursive behavior of literary materials, i.e., to be used to study the literary as a regime of creation and production, which shares the sensible, as would say Rancière (2009), we analyzed the relationships between materiality and constitution of the authorship of the book S. by J.J. Abrams and Doug Dorst. To do so, we utilized the concepts of mídium and creative paratopia aiming to study the texts that are contained in the subject of the study - both the novel and the story which develops in "parallel" in its margins. Taking into account the three instances pointed by Maingueneau as constitutive of creative paratopia (person, inscriber and writer) and the rereading of the author's role done by Roger Chartier (2012), we intend to investigate the problematization of authorship present in this subject where the first two authors disappear in order to create space for the narrative of the Ship of Theseus, by a mysterious novelist, V.M. Straka, and his translator, F.X. Caldeira, works of fiction which assume the conduction of the narrative - or narratives, which intertwine. (AU)
