The Effectiveness Of The Self Between The Written Text And The Written Text In Roland Barthes

Abstract

The study aims to trace and extrapolate the views of the French theorist and thinker Roland Barthes and his critical propositions related to the written and the read text. It aims to study them in detail, revealing the centrality of the self, its presence, and its effectiveness in each, as well as the changes that occurred in light of Barthes' critical intellectual shift from structuralism to post-structuralism This was clearly reflected in his understanding of the text and how the self-interacted with it, revealing his own vision and the philosophical and cognitive framework upon which his critical opinions and orientations were built during this phase. It became clear that the written text is capable of infinite multiple readings and is open to rewriting. In it, the reader engages in productive reading that leads to multiple meanings, while the written text is a completely different text. Reading. The practice of it turns it into a produced text with a single meaning, incapable of being reread and reproducible. It is a reading that consumes and closes it down. As for the self, it appears marginalized and absent, playing no real, effective role in either text. Instead, it is governed by the authority of language, texts, and the writing space.
