A review by blueyorkie
O Prazer do Texto, by Roland Barthes

4.0

What do we enjoy from the text? This question must ask, if only for a tactical reason: we must affirm the pleasure of the writing against the indifference of science and the puritanism of ideological analysis; it is necessary to claim the enjoyment of the text against the flattening of the literature to its simple approval.
How to ask this question? It turns out that the peculiarity of satisfaction is that it can not be said. It was thus necessary to rely on an inordinate succession of fragments: facets, keys, bubbles, phylacteries of an invisible design: a straightforward staging of the question, unapproachable consequence of the textual analysis.
