Product Description
From the Back Cover
ESSAYS SELECTED AND TRANSLATED BY STEPHEN HEATH
'Image-Music-Text' brings together major essays by Roland Barthes on the structural analysis of narrative and on issues in literary theory, on the semiotics of photograph and film, on the practice of music and voice.
Throughout the volume runs a constant movement 'from work to text': an attention to the very ‘grain’ of signifying activity and the desire to follow – in literature, image, film, song and theatre – whatever turns, displaces, shifts, disperses.
Stephen Heath, whose translation has been described as “skilful and readable” (TLS) and “quite brilliant” (TES), is the author of 'Vertige du déplacement', a study of Barthes. His selection of essays, each important in its own right, also serves as “the best…introduction so far to Barthes’ career as the slayer of contemporary myths” (JOHN STURROCK, 'New Statesman).'

I bought this book for academic purposes and now will use it as a reference tool often for research.
Would recommend this to anyone working in qualitative research, especially narrative, photo-elicitation, film and images. a brilliant selection of essays, wouldn't expect anything less from Barthes.

good essays, authoritative, quite technical and deals with linguistics comprehensively. Connecting image, music and text academically is what to expect here.

This book is a translation of selected texts written by Roland Barthes and originally published in French between 1961 and 1971 in various French-speaking magazines and journals.
As the title of the book suggests, these texts deal with various topics related to issues dealing with image, music and text.
It will be of various interest to various readers, very much in the same way as another famous collection of articles written by Barthes such as Mythologies (Vintage Classics).
