Has anybody read Roland Barthes' "Mythologies"?
Q. Been recommended by friend. Whatlike???
Asked by BLZbozo - Sun Mar 19 19:01:55 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I have excerpted this from a lecture in the link below...its quite interesting. I think you should go ahead and give the book a shot. Introduction Roland Barthes is a key figure in international intellectual life. He is one of the most important intellectual figures to have emerged in postwar France and his writings continue to have an influence on critical debates today. When he died in 1981, he left a body of major work but, as many of his friends and his admirers claimed, with still more important work to come. I can't possible hope to do justice to the diversity of his various writings here - I can only point you in the direction of Culler (1983), Moriarty (1991) and Rylance (1994) where you will find good accounts of his career -… [cont.]

essay question on photography and digital images?
Q. Digital images are often created almost entirely in the computer. are they "real" photography ? discuss with reference to the following statement: "Every photograph is a certificate of presence." Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida 1980 i don't really know where to start - does anyone have any ideas or arguments? thank you
Asked by ILLAC - Sun May 24 11:39:37 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. ok, we take a photograph, we dev the film. and produce a print... evidential proof as it were, of our actions... however, although one may see Digital media, there is nothing whatsoever for one to touch, to hold to feel or examine as it is merely an arrangement of photons, which, we can neither see, hold nor touch... yet this article was written almost 30 years ago, and as such is an anachronistic relic from a world, where what we have today, was even then, unimaginable... if a tree falls and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? type argument.. and his affirmation that the image holds a fundamental truth is of course absolute rubbish... we have taken photoshop to another level. i can create original artworks... and… [cont.]

text is a tissue of quotations...?
Q. Can someone explain the meaning of this passage from Roland Barthes The Death of the Author? I was reading online and came across something that referred to it. I was just curious what this meant. Thanks. Thank you for the response, but I wanted to better understand what he meant by "tissue". I read a little about his ideas and how he thought you need to look past the author to gain a full understanding of his/her words but, I was looking for more of a metaphorical break down between the meaning of "tissue of quotation" and text .
Asked by no name - Sat Aug 29 08:21:54 2009 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments

A. The tissue here is like that of a tissue of lies. Something likened to a woven fabric, as being produced by the intertwining of separate elements; an intricate mass or interwoven series, a 'fabric', 'network', 'web' (of things abstract, most usually of a bad kind, as absurdities, errors, falsehoods, etc.) So you just substitute the lies part with quotations. You might as well say,a patchwork quilt of quotations.
