Abstract

This essay starts off with a theoretical review of the notions of “author” and “authorship” as reflected by academic theory and cultural, artistic and film criticism by scholars of African arts and cinema. The notions of “author” and “authorship” are used in order to examine the ways in which they are assumed, negotiated and affirmed and/or refuted in the films by Bissau-Guinean Flora Gomes, highlighting his style and some of the early authorship traits. This essay is part of a doctoral dissertation currently in progress.
