Synopsis ""Masculine, Feminine, Neuter" and Other Writings on Literature (The French List) (in English)"

A major collection of essays and interviews from an iconic 20th-century philosopher in five volumes, now all available together in paperback. 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. 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 three, Masculine, Feminine, Neuter, consists of his writing on literature, covering his peers and influences, writers in French and other languages, contemporary and historical writers, and world literature.

(1915-1980) Fue una de las figuras intelectuales más importantes que emergieron en Francia en la posguerra, y sus escritos son, todavía hoy, objeto de estudio y discusión. Este crítico y ensayista francés, desarrolló gran parte de su trabajo en un ambiguo espacio entre la lingüística y la literatura. Entre sus libros, obtuvieron gran reconocimiento sus estudios semiológicos sobre la imagen. En 1977 fue designado titular de la cátedra de Semiología Literaria del Collège de France, que fue creada especialmente para él por consejo de Michel Foucault. Barthes se definió a sí mismo como “un sujeto incierto”: demasiado literario para los lingüistas, demasiado lingüista para los críticos literarios. Quizá sea este rasgo el que lo ha convertido en uno de los pensadores y teóricos más influyentes en su campo.
