A Relational Theory of Authorship
No full textOver the years we have heard the debate as to whether authorship emanates solely from the individual or from the cultural context in which they inhabit. Writers such as Professors Woodmansee, Jaszi and Cohen have asserted a cultural theory of authorship. On one hand, there is the liberal philosophy of autonomous creativity evidenced in the notion of a "romantic author" (after the period known as romanticism). On the other hand we have more of a communitarian notion – that the author acts in a cultural context and authorship to some extent must be linked back to the social existence within which the author is situated.\ud

This article argues that for too long we have privileged the notion of the romantic author so much so that it is hard to argue for any other approach to copyright than one that focuses primarily on the author and their assignees such as publishers or associated commercialising agents such as recording companies. Furthermore it suggests that this approach fits awkwardly with the burgeoning networked society fuelled by the Internet to the point where it threatens innovation and the potential for productivity. To this end the article argues that we should more explicitly acknowledge the contribution of culture to authorship and more so the role of each and every individual in assisting and nurturing that authorship, as well as the contribution of users to creativity through consumptive, productive and transformative use of copyright works
How far is F. Scott Fitzgerald efficient in reflecting the moral corruption in the American Society of Roaring Twenties?
No full textF. Scott Fitzgerald is one of the artistic authors in American literature who has always
inspired young generations ever since he was first published. The very first reason why his
masterpieces are so impressive, is his flashing some sections from his real life in his short
stories and novels. Furthermore, he is shining at reflecting the characteristics of his period-the
glittering Jazz Era, the sophisticated, stylish Roaring Twenties.
There are many sections of Fitzgerald’s life, which is very similar to his novel The Great
Gatsby. To give some examples, Gatsby falls in love while he is a lieutenant like Fitzgerald
and Daisy is keen on a wealthy life, full of luxury just like Zelda who is Fitzgerald’s wife in
real life. Nick Carraway has also some similar aspects with Fitzgerald. They both go to Ivy
League colleges (Nick goes to Yale and Fitzgerald goes to Princeton.). The real life of the
author, embedded in the story, always makes the novel more alluring. That is why I chose The
Great Gatsby.
This extended essay is mainly an attempt to figure out the social attitudes during twenties and
grasp the mood of this enigmatic Jazz Age by enjoying the masterpiece of one of the most
transcendent, peerless American authors-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby.
Moral corruption is the main issue that is covered in this essay and the efficiency of Fitzgerald
in reflecting the collapse of ethical values is focused on

“The Three Kings: Hemingway, Faulkner, and Fitzgerald”
No full textIn this chapter, the author reflects on how he came to read William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, and F. Scott Fitzgerald—whom he describes as the three kings. The author begins by recalling a few years ago reading in Exile's Return, Malcolm Cowley's book on the 1920s, the teenage correspondence between Cowley and Kenneth Burke. He admits that reading was his very problem in Mississippi. He also remembers the first time he read Fitzgerald's story “Absolution” and how he came to know who Faulkner was. According to the author, 1962 was the year he would first read Faulkner, Fitzgerald, and Hemingway. He read The Sun Also Rises, Absalom, Absalom!, and The Great Gatsby. He argues that Faulkner was the best of all three, and the very best of any American writing fiction this century. He concludes by discussing what he and his generation might have learned from the three writers.</p

No full textResumen: Este artículo analiza algunos rasgos de la narrativa reciente del argentino Ricardo Piglia con relación a las poéticas de Macedonio Fernández y del estadounidense Francis Scott Fitzgerald. La primera parte trabaja la relación conflictiva de Piglia con el llamado posmodernismo; la segunda parte explica el vínculo entre Piglia y Macedonio, a través de la poética de la autonomía de lo literario; la tercera parte aborda la relación con Fitzgerald, por medio de un análisis de sus respectivas búsquedas de formas narrativas, para concluir en una cuarta parte ciertos cambios dentro de la propia obra novelesca de Piglia.

The first part develops Piglia’s conflictual approach to the postmodern. The second part explains the bond between Piglia and Macedonio by showing how their poetics defend the idea of literature’s autonomy. The third part examines his relation to the oeuvre of Fitzgerald by analyzing their respective ways of conceiving narrative forms. The article concludes with a reading of some transformations within Piglia’s novelistic works.Key words: Piglia, Fitzgerald, Macedonio, postmodernism, narrativity, metafiction
