Authorship Studies
Authorship Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the concept of authorship, focusing on who creates texts and how their identities influence the interpretation of their work. This area of study explores various forms of authorship, including traditional literary authors, digital creators, and collaborative works, analyzing the impact of cultural, social, and historical contexts on the production of texts.
Researchers in Authorship Studies often investigate the relationship between authors and their audiences, considering how factors like gender, race, and class shape perceptions of authority and authenticity. The field also addresses issues of copyright, intellectual property, and the evolving nature of authorship in the digital age, where content is frequently shared and remixed.
