Roland Barthes: The Death of the Author
Number of pages:
10
ABSTRACT:
(10 pp) French theorist and social critic, Roland
Barthes (1915 - 1980) took his information from the
areas of sociology, anthropology, psychoanalysis,
and linguistics. He believed that language is more
than just words or texts, but rather a system of
signs, which reflect the society and its given
place in time. This study of "signs" is labeled
semiology. What Barthes means by "The Death of
the Author" is discussed. Bibliography lists 7
sources.
