Abstract

The following paper seeks to outline some of the tensions concerning the ethics and responsibility of and in literature through considerations surrounding several recent cultural productions, such as Point Omega, by Don Delillo, the short film “5,000 feet is the best”, by Omer Fast and mainstream pornography. Questions on authorship and speech acts will be investigated with the theoretical aid of the book A Theory of the Drone, written by the philosopher Grégoire Chamayou.
