How to Read Barthes' Image-Music-Text
Roland Barthes remains one of the most influential cultural theorists of the postwar period and Image-Music-Text collects his most influential essays. Ed White provides students with a clear guide to this essential but difficult text.
As students are increasingly expected to write across a range of media, Barthes' work can be understood as an early mapping of what we now call interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary study. The book's detailed section-by-section readings makes Barthes' most important writings accessible to undergraduate readers.
This book is a perfect companion for teaching and learning Barthes' ideas in cultural studies and literary theory.

March 28, 2021Offers some guidance and insight on how to approach the collection of Barthes' essays. Worth reading for the context provided. Sometimes the summaries felt lacking, and inevitably reductive (and often I couldn't find an answer to what I really wanted to know), but helpful overall.
