| Sumario: | Whereas literary criticism has mainly oscillated between ""the death of the author"" (Barthes) and ""the return of the author"" (Couturier), this work suggests another perspective on authorship through an analysis of Nabokov's prefaces. It is here argued that the author, being neither dead nor tyrannical, alternates between authoritative apparitions and receding disappearances in the double gesture of mastery without mastery which Derrida calls 'exappropriation', that is, a simultaneous attempt to appropriate one's work, control it, have it under one's power and expropriate it, losing control. |
