They cover the breadth of Barthes’s work from\u003ci\u003e Mythologies \u003c\/i\u003e(1957) to ‘The Death of the Author’ (1967), \u003ci\u003eA Lover’s Discourse \u003c\/i\u003e(1977), \u003ci\u003eCamera Lucida\u003c\/i\u003e (1980), to the more recently available lecture courses at the Collège de France. \u003cbr\u003eTogether, they capture and rethink a range of Barthes’s preoccupations, from his early writing on myths and meaning to personal reflections on love, loss and desire, and interrogate the intersections between Barthes’s work and contemporary theatre and performance. \u003cbr\u003eThis book invites readers to approach Barthes’s writing from a breadth of creative-critical perspectives, to become more aware of the importance of his late thought for thinking through a range of dramaturgical forms, and to become more familiar with the work of internationally significant performance practitioners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224572383576,"sku":"9781350330849","price":102.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350330849.jpg?v=1770876938","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/rethinking-roland-barthes-through-performance","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
