The notion of a book has expanded and, from the old cultural guerrilla war with mass media such as television, digital culture has promoted a more effective adherence to screens as supports for writing and reading. From these practices, it can be said that, in a not very peaceful way, literature admitted the transition between the verbal and the non-verbal, as well as in the context of digital poetics, animation and sound that are also incorporated into creative language. In this sense, this article intends to discuss the reconfigurations of the book in the context of transformations in communication technologies driven by the digital and the impact of technological writings on reading processes, using theoretical references by Michel Melot (2012), Robert Scholes (1989), Roger Chartier (1999, 2004, 2010), Umberto Eco (2005), Alckmar Luiz dos Santos (2003), Katherine Hayles (2009), and Rui Torres (2004). In this way, it was possible to discuss some points of the current reading process, aiming at the contribution to a reflection on digital reading, as well as to problematize the book in this context.

Based on the short-film Gilete Azul, by Miriam Chnaiderman, the authors intend to study the question of authorship in the contemporary context. Elements found in the artwork of Nazareth Pacheco, presented by the film, allow to understand that the authorship-function cannot be understood as something evident, i.e., the author is a sort of subject in the discourse, as an effect of the discourse. Therefore, it is proposed that the author is always "hanging by a thread": either because its presence is not guaranteed a priori, or because it is the effect of a signi! cant chain.

The filmmaker Win Wenders, in the direction of False Movement (1975), as well as Alice in the Cities (1974) and In The Passing of Time (1976) completes a trilogy in which the representation of the German imaginary and identity appears to be filled with a violent nihilism as regards the notion of the possibility of a collective project, a precarious common-belonging within a determined political state and historical heritage, the decadence of the cinema as a language related to the ethic-esthetic of the past. This article proposes to be a critical reading of the identity representations in False Movement (Falsche Bewegung, 1975) and of how these are operated as reproducers of meanings to the memory, the myths and the histories of a determined imaginary geography.
