Auch nach den Diskussionen über den "Tod" und die "Rückkehr des Autors" bleibt Autorschaft für die Literatur und ebenso für die Künste und Wissenschaften eine grundlegende, sinnstiftende Kategorie; sie erhält noch mehr aktuelle Brisanz unter den Bedingungen der Mediengesellschaft. Der Sammelband widmet sich dem spezifischen Verhältnis von literarischer und künstlerischer Autorschaft zu Religion und Politik in fächer- und epochenübergreifender Weise: Wie definiert und legitimiert sich Autorschaft in wechselnden politischen, sozialen und religiösen Einflussfeldern? Welche Rollen, Rhetoriken und Schreibweisen entfalten sich? Gefragt wird nach Autorisierungen durch Ikonen (d. h. durch unterschiedliche Rollenmuster und ihre historischen Funktionalisierungen), durch Stile, durch Institutionen, in denen Autorschaft mit dem Anspruch auf Deutungshoheit und 'Amtsautorität' wahrgenommen wird. Von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart werden diese Fragen von namhaften Vertretern ihres Faches interdisziplinär diskutiert - aus dem Blickwinkel der Klassischen und Mittellateinischen Philologie, der Germanistik und Romanistik, Theologie, Geschichte, Kunstgeschichte und Musikwissenschaft. Der Band entstand im Rahmen des Exzellenzclusters "Religion und Politik der Vormoderne und Moderne" an der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster.

"T. R. Hummer grew up in the Deep South and planned to become a musician before he met poetry. This musical influence is visible in his work: he often discusses poetry together with music (and sometimes the other way around), and his career has included both writing and performance. The present volume, Available Surfaces, focuses on the art of making both poetry and music and on the concept of "making" as well. Hummer draws on childhood experiences ("A Length of Hemp Rope"), adult experiences ("Hotel California"), experiences as a poet ("Available Surfaces"), and experiences as an explorer of unworldly spaces ("The Hive," "Brain Wave and the End of Science Fiction"). Hummer has published ten volumes of poetry with presses including Louisiana State University Press and the University of Illinois Press. His work has appeared in two anthology volumes published by Simon & Schuster and Cengage and in two Pushcart Prize anthologies. He has edited the Kenyon Review, the Georgia Review, and the Cimarron Review, among other journals."--

Sinds begin 2011 schrijft Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer in "nrc.next" wekelijks een bondig stuk over een facet dat met het schrijverschap verbonden is. Dit alles vanuit de fundamentele vraag: hoe is het om schrijver te zijn? Pfeijffer laat zich daarbij leiden door vragen van nieuwsgierige lezers: hoe overleef je als schrijver? Waarom schrijf je eigenlijk? Hoe krijg je het voor elkaar om te debuteren? Moet je als schrijver ook veel lezen? Hoe voer je een polemiek? Zijn alle schrijvers alcoholisten? Hoe schrijf je een bestseller? En nog tientallen andere, zeer uiteenlopende maar daarom niet minder prangende vragen. De verhalen die dat heeft opgeleverd, zijn - uitgebreider dan de krantenversies - in dit boek samengebracht en vormen tezamen een waarachtig literair zelfhulpboek.
