The theoretical field of Discourse Analysis stands at the basis of the present discussion on the discursive process for reformulation of books. By focusing on the axis subject-meaning-versions - with a punctual emphasis on the socio-historical mechanisms, which constitute the work of authorship -, here one tries to make explicit how the enunciative event (INDURSKY, 2008), once it is responsible for the emergence of the so called "revised edition," affects the enunciable proper to a certain discursive formation, and reconfigures the memory networks. The subject-author, caught within the web of historical contradictions in which he constitutes himself, enters in a play of repeat-dislocate-forget. The reflection here developed acquires an overtone when the polemical identity of the "revised edition" is dealt with at the final considerations.
