Death of the Auteur?

Posted by Zonk on Friday October 1, 2004 @08:01AM from the who-makes-the-games-we-play? dept.

Thanks to TerraNova, and specifically Timothy Burke, for the article entitled Death of the Auteur. In it, Burke examines the modern reality that games are no longer made by a single person and ponders the meaning of game authorship. "Who is the author of a game? How should we speak of authorship?" What kind of weight does a personal and public apology have when a games authorship is up in the air?

Ha. I was wondering about the significance of "death of the auteur," not "auteur" itself. Remember, at the time of my posts the linked article didn't work. People sometimes use fancy-schmancy words that they don't know the meaning of so that people think that they're clever.
Master of Arts in English literature, thesis track (focusing on Wiliam Gibson and the role of technology as a substitute for religion in Neuromancer, Count Zero & Mona Lisa Overdrive). Also, I can assure you that I do not need an assistant in the second definition that you gave.
