Considerações sobre o dispositivo da autoria, segundo Michel Foucault

Abstract

This article proposes to reflect on the notion of authorship, based on the teachings of Michel Foucault, articulated in the works: What is an author? The Archeology of Knowledge, and The Order of Discourse. What we intend to defend here is that, from a Foucaultian perspective, regarding the phenomenon of authorship, there is a philosophical and political understanding of contemporary devices, extracted from the reading of the process of experiencing subjectivities and discursive practices, in a constant clash between living beings and devices. From the notion of device, it is possible to explore the problematization of practices and discourses present in subjectivation processes, articulating the question of authorship with the themes: discourse, the subject and power.

Keywords: Device. Authorship; Speech. Michel Foucault
