¿Qué es un autor? La pregunta que Michel Foucault lanzaba un año después de que Roland Barthes decretara su muerte, ha encontrado múltiples respuestas teóricas que abordan la autoría como una compleja cámara de ecos, en expresión de José-Luis Diaz, donde resuenan cuestiones cruciales acerca de la literatura, el arte o el sujeto. La teoría literaria, la historia de la crítica y de las ideas, la sociología, el análisis del discurso o la deconstrucción, se han volcado en analizar ese supuesto ser de carne y hueso que fabulamos antes o tras, dentro o sobre, de la obra literaria y artística. ¿Cómo y cuándo surge el concepto de autor tal y como hoy lo concebimos? ¿Cómo han cambiado las relaciones entre el autor/a, la obra y el lector/a? ¿Qué atributos se asocian a la noción de artista? ¿De qué modos la autoría se pone en escena en la obra? ¿Y en el campo literario y social? ¿Cómo se deviene autor? Recogiendo textos fundamentales de los Estudios Autoriales de las últimas décadas, esta antología nos invita a repensar los papeles culturales de este ser de papel y de palabras cuyo retrato, sin embargo, no se ha dejado de pintar, de fotografiar, de filmar y, sobre todo, de imaginar.

In Achieving Autobiographical Form Nicholas Meihuizen argues that significant autobiographies achieve significant forms, peculiar to themselves alone. Form, he argues, is not accidental or merely functional. The author arrives at a form through a careful negotiation between the self’s immersion in its world and its ability to distance itself from this world. The quality of the resultant self-scrutiny enables the author to transform everyday reflex into the act of attention that results in formal achievement, a uniquely crafted structure. Meihuizen’s book helps demonstrate how each piece of autobiographical writing under consideration in it (works by Yeats, Conrad, Martin Amis, Frank Kermode, Andrew Motion, Roy Campbell, Richard Murphy, and J.M. Coetzee) discovers a unique form.

« L'Auteur » demeure une notion problématique qui émerge lentement dans l'histoire, qui reste indécise, recule, disparaît. Auctor, il est d'abord celui qui augmente, accroît, puis le garant de l'œuvre que le génie humain ajoute à la création. Il est aussi celui qui, par son œuvre, détient l'autorité. Aujourd'hui, la notion d'auteur reste mouvante et polysémique, incontournable et protéiforme, et c'est bien imprudemment qu'on avait annoncé naguère « la mort de l'auteur ». Reste toujours l'œuvre qui, en tant que création de forme originale, définit son auteur. C'est cette problématique de « l'auteur » de textes littéraires qui est soumise ici aux points de vue d'historiens de la littérature, de critiques littéraires, de juristes, d'une bibliothécaire, d'un éditeur et d'un psychanaliste.

This collection of essays focuses on the varied and complex roles that editors have played in the production of literary and scholarly texts in Canada. With contributions from a wide range of participants who have played seminal roles as editors of Canadian literatures-from nineteenth-century works to the contemporary avant-garde, from canonized texts to anthologies of so-called minority writers and the oral literatures of the First Nations-this collection is the first of its kind. Contributors offer incisive analyses of the cultural and publishing politics of editorial practices that question inherited paradigms of literary and scholarly values. They examine specific cases of editorial production as well as theoretical considerations of editing that interrogate such key issues as authorial intentionality, textual authority, historical contingencies of textual production, circumstances of publication and reception, the pedagogical uses of edited anthologies, the instrumentality of editorial projects in relation to canon formation and minoritized literatures, and the role of editors as interpreters, enablers, facilitators, and creators. Editing as Cultural Practice in Canada situates editing in the context of the growing number of collaborative projects in which Canadian scholars are engaged, which brings into relief not only those aspects of editorial work that entail collaborating, as it were, with existing texts and documents but also collaboration as a scholarly practice that perforce involves co-editing.
