A Companion to Media Authorship is a ground-breaking collection that reframes media authorship as a question of culture in which authorship is as much a construction tied to authority and power as it is a constructive and creative force of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGathering together the insights of leading media scholars and practitioners, 28 original chapters map the field of authorship in a cutting-edge, multi-perspective, and truly authoritative manner. The contributors develop new and innovative ways of thinking about the practices, attributions, and meanings of authorship. They situate and examine authorship within collaborative models of industrial production, socially networked media platforms, globally diverse traditions of creativity, complex consumption practices, and a host of institutional and social contexts. Together, the essays provide the definitive study on the subject by demonstrating that authorship is a field in which media culture can be transformed, revitalized, and reimagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes on Contributors ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction: The Problem of Media Authorship 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDerek Johnson and Jonathan Gray\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Theorizing and Historicizing Authorship\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Authorship and the Narrative of the Self 23\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohn Hartley\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 The Return of the Author: Ethos and Identity Politics 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKristina Busse\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Making Music: Copyright Law and Creative Processes 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOlufunmilayo B.
