| Roland Barthesb: Cherbourg, France, Nov 12, 1915 d: Paris, France, Mar 25, 1980 French, Critic. Known for contributions to structural linguistics, applications of seminology theories, wrote Writing Degree Zero, 1953.
For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short. An artiste with short arms can never, never make a fine gesture. Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire. New York... is a city of geometric heights, a petrified desert of grids and lattices, an inferno of greenish abstraction under a flat sky, a real Metropolis from which man is absent by his very accumulation. The New is not a fashion, it is a value. The photographic image... is a message without a code. There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque. |
