Resumo: | This article aims to discuss and elaborate on the concepts of ‘global author’ and ‘global authorship’ by focusing on works by Salman Rushdie and Elena Ferrante. We intend to establish the foundations and principles that turn a writer into a global author, reflect on the importance of these writers’ taking part in the contemporary scene that debates their work, and think about the canon within a globalized literary context. On a more specific note, we seek to point out what conditions place Salman Rushdie and Elena Ferrante in this category. Our hypothesis is that global authors must be living authors whose persona and work circulate through the transnational literary universe and who participate actively in the discussions around their work and demonstrate their global relevance by means of public interventions and mass media discussions. In so doing, we challenge the notion that a world literary canon, based exclusively on authors’ literary quality, can still be sustained in a global setting. In this context, Salman Rushdie, with the release in 1988 of his The satanic verses, and Elena Ferrante, with her Neapolitan tetralogy, can be approached, apart from their literary merits, as authors and agents within the ideological and political themes of the globalized contemporary world, which are necessary credentials to attain the status of global authors. |

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir e desenvolver os conceitos de ‘autor global’ e ‘autoria global’ a partir de obras dos escritores Salman Rushdie e Elena Ferrante. Pretendemos definir as bases e princípios do que faz de um escritor um autor global, qual é a importância da participação desses autores no cenário contemporâneo de debate da obra e fazer uma reflexão sobre o cânone num contexto literário globalizado. De maneira mais específica, procuramos apontar o que faz de Salman Rushdie e Elena Ferrante autores dessa categoria. A hipótese desenvolvida é a de que os autores globais devem ser autores vivos, cuja obra e persona circulam no universo literário transnacional, participando ativamente das discussões em torno de sua obra e provando, constantemente, por meio de intervenções públicas e discussões nos meios de comunicação de massa, sua relevância global. Dessa forma, desafiamos a ideia de que um cânone literário mundial, baseado exclusivamente na qualidade literária de seus autores, ainda pode ser sustentada no cenário global. Nesse contexto, os autores Salman Rushdie, a partir do lançamento de seu livro Os versos satânicos (1988), e Elena Ferrante, a partir de sua tetralogia napolitana, para além de suas qualidades literárias, podem ser pensados como autores e agentes de questões políticas e ideológicas no mundo contemporâneo globalizado, características essas necessárias para fazer parte da condição de autores globais.Universidade Estadual De Maringá2023-06-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciLangCult/article/view/6370810.4025/actascilangcult.v45i1.63708Acta Scientiarum.
