Authors are autonomous individuals with vivid sensations and a powerful overflow of spontaneous feelings that get articulated through creative expression.

Developing from the French New Wave cinema of the 1950s, the idea is that film directors have a distinctive visual style, technical competence and consistent themes or interior meanings.

NEW CRITICISMFormal analysis of the structure of a work of art is accomplished by close reading that does not interrogate authorial intention or reader response.

FOUCAULTWhat is an Author?
![Page 11: Historical Perspectives on Authorship](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5d4301a28abeb148b463c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The text does not release a single meaning, the “message” of the author,
but that a text is rather a “tissue of citations” born of a multitude of
sources in culture
-Barthes, 1978

In the late age of print, tensions between the authority of the author and the empowerment of the reader have become part and parcel of the writing space
--Bolter, 2001

At the core of authorship is the process of making choices about the structure and content of media elements within the constraints of a particular medium. Different discourse communities have different notions of how much of a contribution in structure and content results in authorship.

Authorship is about control, power and the management of meaning and of people as much as it is about creativity and innovation.
