A Barthes Reader
A "Barthes Reader" is a collection of writings by Roland Barthes, a French philosopher and literary critic. It offers insights into how we interpret texts, images, and culture, emphasizing that meaning is not fixed but shaped by context and perspective. Barthes explores concepts like myths, language, and storytelling, encouraging readers to think critically about everyday messages and symbols around them. The reader serves as an accessible guide to his ideas, helping deepen understanding of how culture and communication influence perception and meaning.
