De son vivant, Roland Barthes a peu publié sur Proust - bien que ce fût, de son propre aveu, sans doute l'auteur le plus important de son univers et celui qu'il aura le plus lu. Ce volume regroupe l'ensemble des textes que Barthes a consacrés à l'auteur de La Recherche du temps perdu, accompagnés par les photographies du monde proustien par Nadar, la transcription de trois émissions radiophoniques mémorables et une sélection de fiches. Il en ressort une vision magnifiquement moderniste d'un écrivain lui-même extraordinairement moderne. Roland Barthes (1915-1980) a été directeur d'études à l'École pratique des hautes études avant d'occuper dès 1977 la chaire de sémiologie littéraire au Collège de France. Il est notamment l'auteur du Degré zéro de l'écriture (1953) et des Fragments d'un discours amoureux (1977).

Du 26 octobre 1977, lendemain de la mort de sa mère, au 15 septembre 1979, Roland Barthes a tenu un journal de deuil, 330 fiches pour la plupart datées. La Chambre claire évoquait déjà largement ce deuil douloureux, qui transforme complètement le regard de Barthes sur la photographie, désormais vu comme le lieu d'une possible résurrection de l'être perdu. Ici, nous sommes tout à la fois dans un constat détaillé et dans une interrogation intime et philosophique du deuil, absolument singulier, impartageable. Ce livre est une pièce décisive dans la compréhension de Roland Barthes, qui aura vécu toute sa vie auprès de sa mère et ne lui aura survécu que trois ans, les années de l'impossible deuil.

A major collection of essays and interviews from an iconic 20th-century philosopher in five volumes, now all available together in paperback. Roland Barthes 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 France's preeminent Collège de France, where he chose to style himself as a professor of literary semiology until his death in 1980. The greater part of Barthes's published writings has been available to a French audience since 2002, but now, translator Chris Turner presents a collection of essays, interviews, prefaces, book reviews, and other journalistic material for the first time in English and divided into five themed volumes. Volume four, Signs and Images, gathers pieces related to his central concerns--semiotics, visual culture, art, cinema, and photography--and features essays on Marthe Arnould, Lucien Clergue, Daniel Boudinet, Richard Avedon, Bernard Faucon, and many more.

"In the sentence ‘She's no longer suffering,' to what, to whom does ‘she' refer? What does that present tense mean?" —Roland Barthes, from his diary The day after his mother's death in October 1977, Roland Barthes began a diary of mourning. For nearly two years, the legendary French theorist wrote about a solitude new to him; about the ebb and flow of sadness; about the slow pace of mourning, and life reclaimed through writing. Named a Top 10 Book of 2010 by The New York Times and one of the Best Books of 2010 by Slate and The Times Literary Supplement, Mourning Diary is a major discovery in Roland Barthes's work: a skeleton key to the themes he tackled throughout his life, as well as a unique study of grief—intimate, deeply moving, and universal.
