Abstract
This essay explores the historical relations between copyright law and authorship, and attempts to complicate postmodern models of the author figure with a study of collaborative authors and their methodologies. In so doing, the essay embraces the new wave of collaborative creativity that has emerged due to various digital technologies, as well as the copyright complications it has induced. This essay finally argues that an understanding of all three discourses"”literary, legal, and technological"”are increasingly necessary for our understanding of past and present literary production, as well as current theoretical notions of authorship.
