Beschreibung des Verlags
This comprehensive presentation of Roland
Barthes’s work tracks his intellectual evolution, with
particular emphasis on those areas where his
influence is felt most strongly today. Key stages in
Barthes’s intellectual itinerary are discussed in
seven core chapters: Mythologies; Semiology; New
criticism; Structuralism; Reader writer and text;
Pleasure, the body and the self; and Photography.
In each chapter concepts are contextualised so that
the reader may understand the issues debated
during the period under scrutiny, and the strength
and originality of Barthes’s contribution to those
debates surrounding cultural forms. The successive
shifts in Barthes’s thought are also carefully
explained and highlighted to avoid any confusion in
the readers mind between concepts or theories
developed at different stages. Another three
chapters (Barthes in perspective; Barthes’s legacy;
and Paradox: a way of thinking) offer an overview of
Barthes’s career and a general assessment of his
place in the intellectual landscape of the last fifty
years.
"Both academics and students, in addition to the wider
public ... will benefit greatly from this comprehensive
monograph. The book covers a wide spectrum of Barthes’
ideas on myth and mythology, literary form and ideology,
semiology, and other critical contributions. One important
characteristic of the book is its accessibility due to the clear
and rigorous style of Ribière in unfolding Barthes’ theories."
