Abstract (English): The National Textbook and Didactic Material Program in Brazil is responsible for evaluating, purchasing, and distributing textbooks for basic education. Perhaps one of the biggest challenges this program faces is the alignment between the textbook idealized by the public policy and the textbook aimed by the publishers. Whereas the public policy and the authors usually aim at educational quality, publishers target at sales. Publishers tend to set quality aside assuming teachers choose titles for adoption based on easiness to use rather than on pedagogical quality. This article analyzes the discourse of one of the authors of a textbook for the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language in Brazilian basic education. The aim is to understand how the author's and publisher's wishes have led to the final production made available to teachers and students. The analysis considers the specificities of the Program, the characterization of textbooks as socio-historical-cultural objects, and the Bakhtin Circle's conceptions of language and authorship. The results show the textbook authorship (author-creator) is the product of power relations among the so-called authors (author-persons) and institutional forces which play decisive roles in authorship (author-institutions).

Abstract (Spanish): El Programa Nacional de Libros de Texto y Material Didáctico de Brasil es responsable por la evaluación, compra y distribución de libros para la educación básica. Quizás uno de sus mayores desafíos es el alineamiento entre la política pública y lo que pretenden las editoriales. Mientras que la política pública y los autores persiguen la calidad, los editores cuidan las ventas. Estos tienden a soslayar la calidad asumiendo que los profesores eligen los títulos que serán adoptados basándose en su facilidad de uso más que en su calidad pedagógica. Este artículo analiza el discurso de uno de los autores de un libro de texto de español como lengua extranjera. El objetivo es comprender cómo los deseos de la autora y del editor contribuyen al producto final, disponible para profesores y estudiantes. El análisis considera las especificidades del Programa, la caracterización de estos libros como objetos sociohistórico-culturales y las concepciones del lenguaje y autoría del Círculo de Bakhtin. El análisis muestra que la autoría (autor-creador) resulta de las relaciones de poder entre autores (autor-persona) y fuerzas institucionales (autor-institución) decisivas en la ejecución del proyecto editorial.
