Transformation of authorship in the transition from traditional media to digital

Abstract

The article deals with the transformation of authorship in the context of changing media epochs, starting from the philosophical concept of Roland Barthes we investigate authorship through the prism of information culture. The author shows that in the late 20th and early 21st centuries there was a radical change in the very understanding of authorship. Its transformation from an elitist activity to the activities of everyday life and even everyday life is evident. The paper analyzes how in the era of total authorship the line between the author as a philosopher and creator, and the author in the linguistic sense, who wrote just a chain of words, is erased.
