Synopsis:
Authors not only create artworks. In the process of creating, they simultaneously bring to life their author personae. Approaching this phenomenon from an interdisciplinary point of view, Sonja Longolius develops a concept of ""performative authorship"" by examining different strategies of becoming an author. In regard to the notion of her concept, this work offers a critical and comparative analysis of the works of Paul Auster, Candice Breitz, Sophie Calle, and Jonathan Safran Foer. Specifically, Auster/Calle and Breitz/Foer form a generational pair of opposites, enabling a discussion of postmodern and post-postmodern artistic strategies of ""performative authorship"".
About the Author: Sonja Longolius is a literary scholar, art historian, and curator based in Berlin. Her interests include, among others, art and literary theory and contemporary art and literature: http://sonja.longolius.com.
