- This book offers a thorough re-evaluation of Roland Barthes’s famous proclamation of the death of the author as it investigates various constructions of the authorial figure through cultural and political imaginaries and erasures. Weaving theories of adaptation and intertextuality with feminist and postcolonial interventions and issues of censorship, it brings a new understanding of the ‘author’ as a performative figure. The book’s scope is ambitious, moving across the boundaries of aesthetic genres from drama, literature and theatre to performance art, film and politics; across histories and a wide range of geographies—from Western and Eastern Europe to China and India.
