Literature is a socially privileged mode of transaction. However pre-modern classical literature threatens the imagination of human subjectivity in several ways. A writer with alert awareness cannot be indifferent to something that threatens the freedom of choice. As one of the most important literary theorists of the twentieth entury, Roland Barthes is aware of the limits of classic literary practices. He starts to question received opinions and test the limits of literary expression. In his eyes, “a good part of our intellectual work consists in casting suspicion on any statement by revealing the disposition of its degrees” (Roland Barthes, Roland Barthes Par Roland Barthes 66). In the early stage of his critical theory, Roland Barthes, influenced by the ideas of Sartre and Karl Marx, displayed a strong interest in issues of language, its relationship to historical and social contexts, and its relationship to power. Following this phase, Roland Barthes is associated with the movement within criticism known as structuralism. |
