Roland Barthes Writing the Political
With typical rhetorical flourish and beholden to paradox, Roland Barthes defines his work on ‘myth’ as an attempt to ‘define things’; and yet he is known foremost for his work on language. The aim of this book is to take ‘things’ here as social relations, objects and other human beings with which the self interacts. It does so via language. And language in Barthes’s conception is double: alienating, alienated on the one side; liberating, inspiring on the other. It is this double that we investigate in this book: A spectre is haunting Barthes studies, the spectre of dialectics; and the spectral presence of dialectics is what we will define in this book as the Barthesian ‘spirit’, in both senses of the word, that is, haunting his analyses and, at once, providing us with a double approach. ‘I have tried to define things, not words’ (Barthes 2009, 131n1).
Rethinking Roland Barthes Through Performance
Rethinking Roland Barthes Through Performance
Rethinking Roland Barthes Through Performance
Through a series of reflections from internationally renowned performance-makers and contextualising essays from leading theatre and performance scholars, this is the first book to map the influence of Roland Barthes on performance. The contributions are framed through Barthes’s notion of The Neutral – the suspension of binary choice that offers a welcome antidote to the political deadlock of our present moment. They cover the breadth of Barthes’s work from Mythologies (1957) to ‘The Death of the Author’ (1967), A Lover’s Discourse (1977), Camera Lucida (1980), to the more recently available lecture courses at the Collège de France. Together, they capture and rethink a range of Barthes’s preoccupations, from his early writing on myths and meaning to personal reflections on love, loss and desire, and interrogate the intersections between Barthes’s work and contemporary theatre and performance. This book invites readers to approach Barthes’s writing from a breadth of creative-critical

Mourning Diary: October 26, 1977 - September 15, 1979
'In the sentence 'She's no longer suffering, ' to what, to whom does 'she' refer? What does that present tense mean?' --Roland Barthes, from his diary The day after his mother's death in October 1977, Roland Barthes began a diary of mourning. For nearly two years, the legendary French theorist wrote about a solitude new to him; about the ebb and flow of sadness; about the slow pace of mourning, and life reclaimed through writing. Named a Top 10 Book of 2010 by The New York Times and one of the Best Books of 2010 by Slate and The Times Literary Supplement, Mourning Diary is a major discovery in Roland Barthes's work: a skeleton key to the themes he tackled throughout his life, as well as a unique study of grief--intimate, deeply moving, and universal.

Om Kärlekens samtal av Roland Barthes, E-bok
»En underbar bok.« |Torbjörn Elensky, Sveriges Radio, P1 Kärlekens samtal var en revolutionerande bok när den utkom och har sedan dess räknats till världslitteraturens mest egensinniga böcker om kärlek. I en samling korta, intensiva texter skriver Roland Barthes om den älskades allra känsligaste ögonblick: i mötet, väntan, bekräftelsen, omfamningen, hänryckningen, förvirringen, ängslan, svartsjukan, grälet, förståelsen, ömheten. Samt om hur kärleken manifesterar sig i språket. I dialoger med allt från kanoniska storheter som Freud, Goethe, Platon, Nietzsche och Proust till zen-mystiker, reflekterar Barthes över ämnet som så få filosofer vågat sig på i grunden men som vi alla egentligen helst läser om. För första gången presenteras nu Kärlekens samtal [Fragments d´un discours amoreux] på svenska med de tjugo ytterligare fragment - sammanlagt över 50 sidor - som ingick i de föreläsningar Barthes höll vid verkets tillkomst, och som publicerats postumt. I översättning av Leif Janzon och med ett nyskrivet förord av Carin Franzén, professor i språk och kultur på Linköpings universite ROLAND BARTHES [1915-1980] var en fransk filosof och litteraturteoretiker. En av historiens mest berömda och originella kritiker, med stort inflytande över framväxten av teorier som strukturalism, poststrukturalism och semiotik. Till hans viktigaste verk hör även Litteraturens nollpunkt och Mytologier.
Appendix Project
'Kate Zambreno’s Appendix Project and Book of Mutter are meditations on grief, motherhood, and memory alongside and through Roland Barthes’s Camera Lucida and Mourning Diary. These are also books about reading and seeing. To enter them is to be in the company of a writer with a tremendous capacity and gift for questioning, thinking, and feeling. These are extraordinary works.' – Christina Sharpe Inspired by the lectures of Roland Barthes, Anne Carson, and Jorge Luis Borges, Kate Zambreno’s Appendix Project collects eleven talks and essays written in the course of the year following the publication of Book of Mutter, Zambreno’s book on her mother that took her over a decade to write. These surprising and moving performances, underscored by the sleeplessness of the first year of her child’s life, contain Zambreno’s most original and dazzling thinking and writing to date. In *Appendix Project *Zambreno thinks through the work of On Kawara, Roland Barthes, W.G. Sebald, Bhanu Kapil, Walter
