This volume explores a dimension of authorship not given its due in
the critical discourse to this point-authorship contested. Much of
the existing critical literature begins with a text and the
proposition that the text has an author. The debates move from here
to questions about who the author is, whether or not the author's
identity is even relevant, and what relationship she or he does and
does not have to the text. The authors contributing to this
collection, however, ask about circumstances surrounding efforts to
prevent authors from even being allowed to have these questions
asked of them, from even being identified as authors. They ask
about the political, cultural, economic and social circumstances
that motivate a prospective audience to resist an author's efforts
to have a text published, read, and discussed. Particularly
noteworthy is the range of everyday rhetorical situations in which
contesting authorship occurs-from the production of a corporate
document to the publication of fan fiction. Each chapter also
focuses on particular instances in which authorship has been
contested, demonstrating how theories about various forms of
contested authorship play out in a range of events, from the
complex issues surrounding peer review to authorship in the age of
intelligent machines.
