O devir-autor no contexto da cibercultura

Abstract

This dissertation presents a reflection on the author as a producer of literary texts in the contemporary society, especially on the context of cyberculture. New digital technologies have been creating new paradigms, and led to new cultural habits. In this context, a question can be formulated: how can we understand the place of the author? This research intends to show how the displacement of the author as a subject has been addressed by thinkers as Mikhail Bakhtin, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze, and to reflect upon its developments in the present time. In this regard, we turned to Deleuze s concept of becoming to elaborate the hypothesis of the research, namely, the new narrative strategies or authoring system as an agency or becoming blocks (blocs de devenir) related to text production on the web. To pursuit this goal, we also recurred to contemporary authors who have been resuming Barthes s and Foucault s questions in the digital culture context.
