Der Autor-Kunstler

Since the debate on the Death of the Author or its Functionalisation the iconic position of the author is in danger. Numerous returns try to defend its status against scandals of plagiarism and new tendencies of open-source-editing, a powerful status founded as an European fundamental myth of the creative individual during the renaissance, linking the two ideas of the author as authority and of the artist as embodiment of inventive creativity. This myth develops itself during the centuries as a mutual orientation of authorship and artistry - up to the new strategies of production of creativity in analogous and digital media.

Intrucat dezbaterea despre moartea autorului sau functionalizarea acesteia, pozitia iconica a autorului este in pericol. Numeroase reveniri incearca sa-si apere statutul impotriva scandalurilor de plagiat si a noilor tendinte de editare open-source, un statut puternic fondat ca mit fundamental european al individului creator in timpul Renasterii, legand cele doua idei ale autorului ca autoritate si ale artist ca intruchipare a creativitatii inventive.
