Abstract

Les livres de Roland Barthes ont été, dès leur origine, au coeur de multiples débats. Attaqués par la critique littéraire la plus traditionnelle comme par une partie de la linguistique; ils se sont cependant succédés, constituant par leur accumulation même une problèmatique et un but. Louis-Jean Calvet essaie ici de rendre compte de cette problématique et de ce but, montrant leurs implications politiques d'une part, et théoriques d'autre part, car le débat ouvert porte autant sur la société (telle qu'elle nous apparaît à travers ses signes) que sur la linguistique, une science neutre ? Et une science humaine peut-elle d'ailleurs être neutre ? Ces questions sont au centre de l'oeuvre de Barthes et nous amènent à une réflexion générale sur le problème du langage et de la révolution.

Abstract

The most famous name in French literary circles from the late 1950s till his death in 1981, Roland Barthes maintained a contradictory rapport with the cinema. As a cultural critic, he warned of its surreptitious ability to lead the enthralled spectator toward an acceptance of a pre-given world. As a leftist, he understood that spectacle could be turned against itself and provoke deep questioning of that pre-given world. And as an extraordinarily sensitive human being, he relished the beauty of images and the community they could bring together.

Abstract

A new critical consideration of the writings and works of Roland Barthes and Victor BurginThe influence of Roland Barthes on Burgin’s work is well documented. Equally, Burgin’s prominence as an artist and theorist concerned with text and image offers a productive dialogue with Barthes’ work. Victor Burgin has long been considered both theorist and practitioner, while Barthes is more known as a theorist and writer. In bringing to the fore Barthes’s practice of painting and drawing, Barthes/Burgin prompts a new critical consideration of Barthes/Burgin, theory/practice, writing/making and criticality/visuality.Barthes/Burgin features two new interviews with Burgin, one concerned with his turn to new digital practices and the other a reflection on his reading of Roland Barthes. Also included are images and texts from the artists and an essay critically examining Barthes’ exercises in drawing and painting.This book accompanied an exhibition at the John Hansard Gallery (February to April 2016), bringing together recent projection works by Victor Burgin and a selection of drawings by Roland Barthes rarely seen outside of France. The exhibition played with Barthes’ use of the slash as established in semiology (and notably used in the title of Barthes’ key poststructuralist work S/Z).Key FeaturesPublished as the official catalogue of the exhibition of the same name that is being held at the John Hansard Gallery in Southampton, as well as a stand-alone art and philosophy bookOver 20 full-colour illustrations, including newly commissioned work by Victor Burgin and images of Barthes’ work on paperContains newly commissioned text by Victor Burgin and unpublished conversations with him on his recent projection works and their theoretical implications

Abstract

Roland Barthes at the Collège de France studies the four lecture courses given by Barthes in Paris between 1977 and 1980. This study, the first full-length account of this material, places Barthes's teaching within institutional, intellectual and personal contexts. Analysing the texts and recordings of Comment vivre ensemble, Le Neutre and La Préparation du roman I et II in tandem with Barthes's 1970s output, the book brings together for the first time all the strands of Barthes's activity as writer, teacher and public intellectual. Theoretically wide-ranging in scope, Lucy O'Meara's study focuses particularly on Barthes's pedagogical style, addressing how his wilfully un-magisterial teaching links to the anti-systematic, anti-dogmatic goals of the rest of his work. Barthes's methodology sought to negotiate the balance between singularity and universality, and central to this endeavour are aesthetic thought and techniques of essayism and fragmentation. Barthes's strategies are here linked to broad intellectual influences, from the legacies of Montaigne, Kant, Schlegel and Adorno to the contemporary intellectual trends which Barthes sought to evade, and his attraction towards Eastern philosophies such as Zen and Tao. Barthes's lectures discuss ideal forms of community life, 'neutral' modes of discourse and behaviour, and the idea of writing a novel. His consideration of these fantasies involves a profound exploration of the nature of literary creation, social interaction, subjectivity, and the possibility of a universal particular. Roland Barthes at the Collège de France reassesses the critical and ethical priorities of Barthes's work in the decade before his death, demonstrating the vitally affirmative core of Barthes's late thought.
