This book takes Roland Barthes's famous proclamation of 'The Death
of the Author' as a starting point to investigate concepts of
authorial presence and absence on various levels of text and
performance. By offering a new understanding of 'the author' as
neither a source of unquestioned authority nor an obsolete
construct, but rather as a performative figure, the book
illuminates wide-ranging aesthetic and political aspects of
'authorial death' by asking: how is the author constructed through
cultural and political imaginaries and erasures, intertextual and
intertheatrical references, re-performances and
self-referentiality? And what are the politics and ethics of these
constructions?
