| Sumario: | Between the late seventies and early eighties, the debate that cultural studies open
in relation to popular culture and mass culture leads to the question in the literary
field of who writes and for whom.
The question guiding this research is: where does one of the most relevant writers of
the period, Martin Amis, see himself in the literary context of this period? Amis builds
a place of enunciation by outlining three different figures in his essays: the common
reader, the academic and the artist-critic. In the new distribution that takes place
due to the expansion of mass media and the resulting social, political and cultural
changes, Amis assigns each of these figures a role. Using discourse analysis tools,
we explore in this article how Amis builds an ethos (Maingueneau, 2002), that is,
how he projects an image of himself as a writer and guarantor of the text that is in
a different place in relation to the three mentioned figures. This way, we look into a
key issue in the period in which Amis produces his texts: the representation that
writers do of their readers and of themselves as actors in the cultural field. |
