Oxford General Reader: Roland Barthes (chinese Edition)

About This Novel
"The Oxford General Reader: Roland Barthes" was originally written for the Modern Masters series launched by Fontana Press and published shortly after Barthes' death. It analyzes his achievements and charts his multiple identities, and is aimed at those who find Barthes useful, interesting, and creative. Barthes's work covers such a wide range of ground - and so does his mood and style - that there is something for everyone in Barthes, but the key question is where Barthes takes us and what impact his charisma has. In this new version, I have made only minor changes to the main text, partly because most of my views on Barthes still hold true, and partly because too much intervention might create an uneven text in which the two voices of my young self and my middle-aged self are at odds with each other. In addition to a little elaboration, I have added new research and bibliography, but most importantly, I have added a final chapter describing Barthes's changing status after his death and offering my own views on his value in today's times.
