AUTHORSHIP AND FANFICS: APPROPRIATION AND COLLABORATIVE PRACTICES
Authorship, fanfic, collaboration, appropriation.
Considering that the cultural and artistic transformations of contemporary times change the ways in which authorship works, the main objective of the thesis is to characterize a change in the understanding of the author’s role considering fanfics. For this purpose, fanfics “We got married” and “Saga que músculo”, produced on the digital literary platform called wattpad, created for both computers and mobile devices, were taken as objects. The study of transformations in the field of authorship was based on the notion of nonspecificity (GARRAMUÑO, 2014) and valued the concepts of transmedia narrative and the culture of convergence (JENKINS, 2009), the notion of actant (LATOUR, 2009; 2012) and the studies of Anne Jaminson (2017), privileging the procedures of collaborative and appropriate practices in the study of fanfics and in particular the importance of the role of the reader or fan in an attempt to characterize the displacement of the notion of autohorship.
