Résumé

Alex Ciorogar’s Ascensiunea autorului în epoca globalizării digitale offers a comprehensive reassessment of authorship theory. The volume, a revised doctoral dissertation, positions itself at the intersection of literary theory, cultural studies, sociology of art, and posthumanist philosophy, aiming to rethink the figure of the author beyond the familiar binary of “death” and “return”. The result is an erudite investigation that proposes a new conceptual framework, an “ecology of authorship”, capable of accommodating the multiplicity and heterogeneity of contemporary creative practices.
