Autorship and contradiction in the discursive process of books reformulation

Abstract

How can we discursively think about the revised edition and its writing? Discourse Analysis Theory (as it is specially developed by Pêcheux, Orlandi and Indursky) sustains this discussion about the discursive process of books reformulation and, by this way, about the reformulation of knowledge domains. Once we are interested on scientific internal reconfigurations, we observe the authorship work on the linguistic-historical materiality of pairs of editions, in order to examine, on the one hand, the relations established between the subject-author and the two versions of a book of him, and, on the other hand, the discursive statute of the revised edition.
