De l’écriture textuelle à l’hypertexte. Enjeux épistémologiques de l’environnement numérique

In the 1970s, under the indirect influence of a technological development considered likely to influence the field of communication and data management, intellectual speculation was directed towards the critical deconstruction of the notions of author and literary work. While in the current context we observe that the digital is declining at all levels of knowledge, producing an epistemological instability, this article proposes to reread the poststructuralist experience of the generation that in the 1970s worked around the notion of the death of the author and of textual writing: on the one hand to reveal the extraordinary modernity of this thought, on the other hand to question an epistemology that can describe our time in its relation to the digital.
