O AUTOR POR UM FIO: SOBRE GILETE AZUL, DE MIRIAM CHNAIDERMAN.

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.
