Chapter 8: Coda: In Other Deaths -- .This book takes Roland Barthes's famous proclamation of 'The Death of the Author' as a starting point to investigate concepts of authorial presence and absence on various levels of text and performance. By offering a new understanding of 'the author' as neither a source of unquestioned authority nor an obsolete construct, but rather as a performative figure, the book illuminates wide-ranging aesthetic and political aspects of 'authorial death' by asking: how is the author constructed through cultural and political imaginaries and erasures, intertextual and intertheatrical references, re-performances and self-referentiality? And what are the politics and ethics of these constructions?Adaptation in Theatre and Performance,2947-4051Performing artsTheaterLiteraturePhilosophyLiteratureHistory and criticismTheatre and Performance ArtsLiterary TheoryLiterary HistoryPerforming arts.Theater.LiteraturePhilosophy.LiteratureHistory and criticism.Theatre and Performance Arts.Literary Theory.Literary History.792.01792.01Jestrovic Silvijaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut973109MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484343703321Performances of Authorial Presence and Absence2213991UNINA
