		Roland Barthes was born on November 12th, 1915 in the town of Cherbourg in Normandy.

		Writer Roland Barthes was a known homosexual but was anxious not to divulge this information to his peers and offered no insights into his sexuality.
		Barthes also represneted himself in his writings in various ways that showed little of his real identity, using instead images that crossed gender and social barriers.
		Throughout Roland Barthes by Roland Barthes, for example, he refers to himself in the third person, as if he were "more or less dead." The resultant self-portrait is atomized into ever contingent identities and associations: middle class, desocialized, plump, slender, male, female, French, left-handed, intellectual, tubercular.

	Roland Barthes on Photography. Professor Jolanta Wawrzycka
		Barthes reads that image as a text and responds to it by employing the apparatus of sensory perceptions, eidetics, and good old interpretation-- he tools of the modernist, aesthetic approach to texts, long buried by postmodernists.
		Barthes likens the effect to that of the Haiku: "For the notation of a haiku, too, is undevelopable: everything is given, without provoking a desire for or even a possibility of a rhetorical expansion" (CL, 49).
		For Barthes, this is the genius of Photography and its horror: a photograph simultaneously testifies to the presence of a thing at a certain past moment and to its absolute pastness, its death.

		For Barthes, realism came with a stereotyped moral vision, and all strategies were fair in a war against repressive dogma — including Barthe's use of a crude Freudianism, a far-fetched reinterpretation of the plot, and a bullying of Balzac into meaning what he did not say.

		The audio material available here represents the whole lectures given by Barthes during his first 2 years' teaching at the Collège de France in 1977 and 1978, and also his inaugural lecture about the question of power (and the way it is inscribed in the core of the language).
		Roland Barthes was elected to the Collège de France on Michel Foucault's proposal in March 1976 and created the chair of literary semiology there.
		Barthes' stake is to show up the weakness of the common ideas of doxa about insipidity and platitude of Neutral ; on the contrary, he tries to restore its strength, its bright and intense dimension in dealing with states, behaviors or speeches that aim at the removal of this intrinsic conflict inside the paradigm.

		Barthes alimente aussitôt ses considérations d’une analyse détaillée des formes, de la matière, des grandes surfaces vitrées, de l’insigne fléchée Citroën, signifiants qui concourent tous vers la même signification mystifiée: une exaltation, une “spiritualisation” de l’objet qui va au-delà de la voiture et la fait vendre, non seulement comme objet, mais comme sens.
		Barthes l’interroge d’un point de vue inédit, c’est la mode écrite, ou mieux, décrite par la presse qu’il soumet à l’analyse en dévoilant un système de signification et de sens que le vêtement de mode et la parole qui l’institue véhiculent.
		Barthes distingue trois niveaux du vêtement: le vêtement réel ou porté, le vêtement-image (photographié;), et le vêtement écrit sur lequel portera son analyse.

	Reading Roland Barthes
		Responding to a questionnaire in 1971, it was "ease"—as opposed to censure or distance—that Barthes counseled as the proper (and most subversive) attitude to adopt toward "formalist" strictures.
		Though not especially fond of "dialectic" as a term, Barthes nevertheless practices an intimate form of dialectical thinking that moves with an ease unrivaled even by Adorno or Benjamin between particular, and often inconspicuous, objects and the universality in which they often unconsciously partake.
		Again Barthes proceeds by negation: not with a specific set of "consumers" to whom the writing is addressed, but with a counterfactual community whose convening value is not a "freely consumed language" but "one freely produced" (16).
