Rethinking authorship allows for a reconsideration of authorship, authority and what may be considered a text. Presenters may also discuss the author(s) behind texts that are not traditionally defined as such including but not limited to sound, orality, embodiment and visual forms of storytelling.

The concept of an author does not refer necessarily to an actual individual; in fact, it gives rise to a variety of poetic, narrative and otherwise voices and subjective positions that anyone can occupy, even people thought of as subaltern.

In “What is an Author?” (1969) Michel Foucault theorizes the writing subject or “author-function” must be stripped of his role as creator and understood as a product of discourse, which suggests an author is not uniform; he/she/they connot be spontaneously attributed to a single creator.

Presentations will consider how authorship is not natural or a given despite modern notions of a singular writer of a literary work such as a novel, poem, play, chronicle or semon etc. The author or who we think of as an author is not natural, always only one person or even a universal given.
