Langbeschreibung
From Shakespeare to Autofiction focuses on salient features of authorship throughout modernity, ranging from transformations of oral tradition and the roles of empirical authors, through collaborative authorship and authorship as 'cultural capital', to the shifting roles of authors in recent autofiction and biofiction. In response to Roland Barthes' 'removal of the Author' and its substitution by Michel Foucault's 'author function', different historical forms of modern authorship are approached as 'multiplicities' integrated by agency, performativity and intensity in the theories of Pierre Bourdieu, Wolfgang Iser, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari.
