- W807115265 abstract "Both Shakespeare in Love (1998) and Anonymous (2011) show author of Shakespearean canon ostentatiously name William Shakespeare. This inscription of authorship, in first of these films, is interpreted by Jane E. KingsleySmith as an atavistic riposte to Roland Barthes's Death of Author that evoke [s] a Romantic conception of authorship by privileging such scenes of writing (159). Anonymous Shakespearean signature (Fig. 1) is much more problematic, however, because author presented in this film is Earl of Oxford, a man who surrenders ownership of his canon to protect his political pretensions. Signing his work with name of an illiterate and uncouth actor, film's Oxford not only allegorizes Barthesian author's death, in a manner similar to Kingsley-Smith's analysis of Shakespeare in Love, but also thematizes contested nature of cinematic enunciation, one of film studies' central and unresolved epistemes (Bordwell, Narration 21-26; Metz, Story/Discourse). This presentation of authorship obfuscates ideological processes involved in film's own construction, dramatizing creative act only to mythologize it. I argue that contrasting presentations of foregrounded authorship in Anonymous and Shakespeare in Love allegorize contested theories inherent to all cinema, allowing adaptation studies privileged comparative conditions to clarify and test unresolved issues at heart of film studies.The theoretical premises upon which I base this argument are derived from Jean-Louis Baudry's understanding of realist film, within Marxist tradition of commodity fetishism, as a product that attempts to efface all traces of own construction. This theory establishes first that almost all forms of editing and storytelling constitute a reality-effect that conceals cinema's inherent transformative work. These processes are intrinsically ideological since they create impression of a seamless flowing of events in subjects1 who are placed into a created, passive position that masquerades as a creative, transcendent position. Only by revealing transformative work of cinematic apparatus can a knowledge effect that denounces be achieved (Baudry 533-34).This transformative work is potentially thematized within adaptation because of foregrounding of constructed nature of films adapted from acknowledged authorial sources. The way in which presentation or elision of authorship impacts upon film's is demonstrated by Christian Metz's understanding of Emile Benveniste's distinction between discours (discourse), act of telling, and histoire (story), narration from a hidden source, which is roughly distinction between third-person and first-person speech. This understanding highlights post-structuralist conception of realist cinema's seamless, ideological, un-authored narrative, since the traditional film is presented as story, and not as discourse. And yet it is discourse,... but basic characteristic of this kind of discourse, and very principle of effectiveness as discourse, is precisely that it obliterates all traces of enunciation, and masquerades as story (Metz, Story/Discourse 544).However, within adaptations of work of canonized authors narrative discourse's status as articulation is explicit. If a film-text is foregrounded as an adaptation of a pre-known work then a significant element of constructed-ness is therefore not obliterated. Narrative might therefore not seamlessly unfold, and discours might not masquerade as histoire, if constructed nature of adaptation's discours is foregrounded. As such, adaptation might reveal cinema's transformative work, fulfilling Baudry's argument that its inscription, manifestation as such ... would produce a knowledge effect, an actualisation of work process, as denunciation of ideology (534).For Stephen Heath, however, revelation of cinema's transformative work does not necessarily produce a knowledge effect. …" @default.
