The Julian Assange Affair: the Right to an Unauthorised Autobiography
Keywords:
Julian Assange, Autobiography, icon.
Abstract
The relationship that a particular individual has with what the codes of a culture considers " right conduct " is at the origin of obtaining a right to a biography , which, on the one hand, establishes different cultural types like the hero or bandit, and secondly, allows the subject to become part of a particular cultural memory. The article aims to give a definition of the figure of Julian Assange , dubbed the icon of aworld revolution in the making, addressing the conditions that would be worthy of his biography. To this end, we pay attention to the sanction that has tried to place him in various textual representations textual and this should be analysed regarding the authorship problem raised with the unauthorized publication of his autobiography.Downloads
