Roland Barthes et le minimalisme affectif

Résumé

The question of “actuality” of Roland Barthes' writings presupposes an investigation into their emotional expression, the ways in which it interacts with the readers who make this time “ours”. It is through Japan's “textualization” and the increasingly obvious reserve towards the role of intellectual that he was still fulfilling that Barthes raised the question of his own assent to the world in which he lived in the 1970s. Rereading, re-visiting his doubts would allow us to better understand his current aura today.
