Synopses & Reviews
Roland Barthes is best known as a semiologist, a student of the science of signs. Introducing Barthes brilliantly elucidates Barthes' application of these ideas to literature, popular culture, clothes and fashion, and explains why his thinking in this area made him a key figure in the structuralist movement of the 1960s. This is the perfect companion volume to Introducing Semiotics.
