Authorship in a “world without frontiers”: paratopia in the technical-scientific informational period
Abstract
This article discusses some contemporary authorship issues by the light of a discursive perspective. Based on the notion of paratopia (MAINGUENEAU, 2006), we analyze the so called "world without frontiers" as a meaning-effect founded on texts’ circulation in the technical-scientific informational period (SANTOS, 2000). Basically, we propose a rapprochement between discursive and geographical issues, since we believe that a better understanding of space-time relations can help to understand many of the current forms of authorship, the way they build identities which are as strong as unstable, producing a proliferation of “border zones”.Downloads
