What is an author?

Què és un autor? takes as its seminal reference the lecture of the same name that Michel Foucault gave in 1969 at the Collège de France. The aim of this short film, however, is not to return to Foucault’s reflections, but to place them alongside other elements that convert them into an object of study to produce new meanings. This involves moving from theory to an affective framework, to a body and a practice: the disappearance of the author subject to which Foucault refers is, here, that of the sick father and his authority.
