A Permanent Self-Criticism: Essays and Interviews, Volume 1, Theory (Seagull Books - The French List).
Roland Barthes, whose centenary falls in 2015, 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 Frances preeminent College de France, where he chose to style himself as professor of literary semiology until his death in 1980. The greater part of Barthess published writings have been available to a French audience since 2002, but here, translator Chris Turner presents a collection of essays, interviews, prefaces, book reviews, and other journalistic material for the first time in English.
Divided into five themed volumes, readers are presented in volume one, A Very Fine Gift and Other Writings on Theory, with Barthess attempts to frame his lifelong curiosities in theoretical form, from his early musings on the sociology of literature through his high period of structuralism to his later reflections on Derrida.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR : Roland Barthes (1915–80) was a professor at the Collège de France until his death. His books include Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography; Image, Music, Text; and A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments.
ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR: Chris Turner is a writer and translator who lives in Birmingham, England. He has translated Jean-Paul Sartre’s The Aftermath of War, Portraits, and Critical Essays and André Gorz’s Ecologica and The Immaterial, all published by Seagull Books.
