Réparer Le Chemin Et L’Âme

“Une adoration métaphorique de mots gravée dans des images cohérentes : le tot accrochant. Votre diction, comme une capsule de vie, qui contraint l'imaginaire humain à conceptualiser et à nourrir. Un enrobage de la joie et de la tristesse. Le cordage de cette capsule au son, au ton, à l'humeur et à d'autres caractéristiques paralinguistiques pour mettre en amont le sens et être esthétiquement agréable à l'esprit”. -Udensi Udensi Literary Reviewe “Ce poème est sensuel, solennel, saisissant et...

Roland Barthes

This book provides a lively introduction to the work of Roland Barthes, one of the twentieth century's most important literary and cultural theorists. The book covers all aspects of Barthes's writings including his work on literary theory, mass communications, the theatre and politics. Moriarty argues that Barthes's writing must not be seen as an unchanging body of thought, and that we should study his ideas in the contexts within which they were formulated, debated and developed.

The medieval period, as well as the brilliant tradition of Russian lyric poetry from the eighteenth century to the present, are almost completely terra incognita, as are the complex...
