Roland Barthes on Aesthetic Experience

(1/1)

sciborg2:
Roland Barthes and the conception of aesthetic experience

I don't pretend to have read copious amounts of Barthes, but I do enjoy his work and recommend the book Mythologies whole heartedly...sadly I need to procure a new copy for myself....At least the essay about theatrical wrestling is online.

Anywho, I'm making a thread because I came across a reference to Barthes' "Obtuse Meaning" in a textual discussion of shamanism.

I gave the paper above a first pass, and will need to read Barthes' original essay on The Third Meaning.

I thought Barthes' work might prove to be of interest as hidden within it I feel like there is an any interesting & impassioned argument about consciousness.
