AB The term autor has become the object of growing contempt of many French writers (Flaubert, Mallarmé, Valéry, Proust), literary critics (Thibaudet, Bakhtin, Barthes, Blanchot) and philosophers (Foucault, Deleuze) within the last 120 years. Nevertheless, this trend starts to turn slow in 1980s, owing to weakening of previous dominant position of structuralism. The article makes a brief historical survey of refusing author's instance, then it deals with its gradual regeneration since 1980s until now in detail. An analysis of the term "literary posture", promoted by a Swiss critic Jérôme Meizoz, and its potential methodological use follows for better explanation of this present-day "author's comeback". Does it mean that a new "critical school" is being born in Europe?
