A major collection of essays and interviews from an iconic
20th-century philosopher in five volumes, now all available
together in paperback. Â Roland Barthes was a restless,
protean thinker. A constant innovator—often as a daring smuggler
of ideas from one discipline to another—he first gained an
audience with his pithy essays on mass culture and then went on to
produce some of the most suggestive and stimulating cultural
criticism of the late twentieth century, including Empire of Signs,
The Pleasure of the Text, and Camera Lucida. In 1976, this one-time
structuralist outsider was elected to a chair at France’s
preeminent Collège de France, where he chose to style himself as a
professor of literary semiology until his death in 1980. Â
The greater part of Barthes’s published writings has been
available to a French audience since 2002, but now, translator
Chris Turner presents a collection of essays, interviews, prefaces,
book reviews, and other journalistic material for the first time in
English and divided into five themed volumes. Volume four,
Signs and Images, gathers pieces related to his central
concerns—semiotics, visual culture, art, cinema, and
photography—and features essays on Marthe Arnould, Lucien
Clergue, Daniel Boudinet, Richard Avedon, Bernard Faucon, and many
more.Â
