Roland Barthes is best known as a semiologist, a student of the science of signs. This sees human beings primarily as communicating animals, and looks at the way they use language, clothes, gestures, hair styles, visual images, shapes and colour to convey to one another their tastes, their emotions, their ideal self-image and the values of their society. Introducing Barthes brilliantly elucidates Barthes' application of these ideas to literature, popular culture, clothes and fashion, and explains why his thinking in this area made him a key figure in the structuralist movement of the 1960s. It goes on to describe how his later insistence on pleasure, the delights of sexual non-conformity, and the freedom of the reader to interpret literary texts in the light of ideologies such as existentialism, Marxism and Freudianism, as well as structuralism itself, continues to make him one of the most dynamic and challenging of modern writers. This is the perfect companion volume to Introducing Semiotics.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 167mmItem Length: 120mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 163gAuthor: Philip ThodyGenre: Language & ReferenceBook Series: Graphic GuidesIllustrator: Piero PieriniContributor: Piero Pierini (Illustrated by)Type: TextbookRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
