    The death of William Golding: authorship and creativity in darkness visible and the paper men

    No full text
    In the seventies and eighties William Golding was deeply responsive to the critical, anti-authorial ethos that followed the publication of Roland Barthes's "La mort de I'auteur" (1968). In Darkness Visible (1979) and The Paper Men (1984) he investigates means by which to reaffirm authorial presence. Working through paradox, he performs the authorial death in these novels, and establishes language’s inadequacy as a means of conveying absolute meaning, authorial "vision," truth or revelation. Having done so he nonetheless gestures towards the divine, towards the possibility of a vatic communication. In this manner the novels work upon principles of contradiction and collapse. What remains is a discourse of hope, promise, desire, without means of substantiating such optimism. Thus Golding might be said to have practiced a form of negative theology, and to have anticipated in this respect some recent trends in literary theory

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Garantiert mehr Regulierung in der Agrar- und Ernährungswirtschaft einen verbesserten Verbraucherschutz oder ist die »Marktlösung« der richtige Weg? Für Dr. Martin Wille, Staatssekretär im Bundesministerium für Verbraucherschutz, Ernährung und Landwirtschaft, ist es »keine Frage ... dass der Schutz des Verbrauchers ... staatliches Handeln erfordert.« Prof. Dr. Gerhard Scherhorn, Universität Hohenheim, und Prof. Dr. Stefan Tangermann, Universität Göttingen, fordern vor allem »bessere« Regulierung und, Kontrolle, während Prof. Dr. Roland Herrmann, Universität Gießen, und Prof. Dr. Christoph Weiss, Universität Kiel, »durch Deregulierung und marktimmanente Anreize« den Verbraucherschutz erhöhen wollen

    Roland Barthes's resurrection of the author and redemption of biography

    No full text
    The most misunderstood essay in literary theory must be Roland Barthes's 'The Death of the Author' (originally 'La mort de l'auteur', 1968). Repeatedly critics and commentators have taken this satiric jeu d'esprit literally, and have credulously assumed that it is advocating the very position that it is condemning
