Implications between mídium and creative paratopia: a case of exponential authorship

Abstract

In this article, we focus on the problem of authorship in S., published in Brazil in 2015 by Intrínseca. Considering a literary editorial object, we mobilized the notion of creative paratopia (Maingueneau, 2006) to examine the constitution of the author's place as part of an established functioning regime. The case: two authors disappear when the seal of the box that covers the codex is broken, henceforth an author-character and characters-reader-authors interact in a paradoxical belonging, complicating the times of the writings, some subsequent, others simultaneous: temporalities given by discursive deixis and a series of objects (maps, notes, cutouts) between the pages of the codex. This approach requires that we consider aspects of the inscriptional materiality, called here under the notion of the medium (Debray, 2000), and aspects of the constitution of the value of this materiality, produced in the conjugation of canonical space and associated space. It is about taking the perspective of editorial mediation to study authorship as management.
