«S/Z» is Roland Barthes's literary criticism essay, published by Éditions du Seuil in paperback (277 pages, in French).
In S/Z, Barthes analyses the short story «Sarrasine» by Honoré de Balzac through five reading codes: hermeneutic, semiotic, symbolic, proairetic and cultural. His argument is that the literary work has no single meaning, but generates multiple meanings. The volume includes the complete text of «Sarrasine».
Originally published in 1970, it is part of the Points series (No. 70) from Éditions du Seuil.
Aimed at readers interested in literary criticism, semiotics and structuralist thought.
Roland Gérard Barthes was a French literary theorist, essayist, philosopher, critic, and semiotician. His work engaged in the analysis of a variety of sign systems, mainly derived from Western popular culture. His ideas explored a diverse range of fields, including structuralism, anthropology, literary theory, and post-structuralism, and influenced the development of multiple schools of theory.
