Roland Barthes (1915−1980), le théâtre du langage

An explorer of signs and contemporary mythologies, Roland Barthes (1915−1980) was one of the most influential thinkers of the 1960s and 1970s. Through the theatre of language, he probed the collective imagination of the modern age. Empire of Signs, A Lover’s Discourse:Fragments, Camera Lucida—each of these books was an event, an exercise in elegance and precision, inviting us to decipher the world to better understand the future. Interwoven with archival materials, this portrait delves into his work to reconstruct his singular presence.
