Abstract
ADORNO, Sérgio. The author on Foucault writings: between discourse and death. J. psicanal. [online]. 2012, vol.45, n.82, pp.113-128. ISSN 0103-5835.
This essay aims to follow Foucault’s arguments on the thesis of the death of the author, result of the critique of the modern subject that has grounded Foucauldian philosophy. The path taken by the study focuses on questions derived from the archeology of knowledge, mainly the radical critique of the Kantian tradition of the knowing subject. Secondly, the text accompanies the arguments that led Foucault to decree the death of author, concluding that the knowing and creative subject is more the product of discursive practices than of a presumed transcendental unity of reason.
