Semiology/Semiotics

Semiology as a theoretical framework that examines all systems of signification, both linguistic and non-linguistic.

Sign

A unit of meaning composed of the relationship between the signifier and the signified.

Denotation/Connotation

Denotation is the primary, lexical level of meaning of a sign; connotation is the secondary level of cultural and subjective associations.

Myth

A second-order semiological system in which historical and cultural meanings are presented as natural and self-evident.

Code

The totality of socially shared rules of signification.

Text

Not a fixed work but an open, polyphonic texture of signs that continuously generates meaning.

Death of the Author

The thesis that shifts the origin of writing and the authority of meaning from the figure of the author to the text and the reader.

Reader

A position that is not the final owner of meaning but an active producer of it.

Writing Degree Zero

A critical conceptualization of a style of writing claimed to be transparent and ideologically neutral among historical forms of writing.

Writing as Practice

Writing is not merely a means of transmission but a field of practice and experience that transforms both subject and meaning.

The creation of the illusion that details with no functional role in a narrative are 'real.' This effect directly links the signifier to the referent while meaning recedes, producing reality as a rhetorical effect.

Pleasure/Jouissance of the Text

The distinction between pleasure (plaisir) and the excessive, often unsettling bodily ecstasy of jouissance.

Readerly/Writerly Text

The readerly text positions the reader as a passive recipient and presents a closed narrative, whereas the writerly text makes the reader a co-author by opening spaces for multiplicity and interpretation.

Third/Obtuse Meaning

A layer of affective meaning, particularly in cinematic images, that remains beyond narrative and symbolic meanings and resists conceptualization.

Myth Effect

The process by which myth presents the historical as natural and immutable.

Empire of Signs

An understanding of a cultural domain as a field of signs, developed especially through Barthes’s reflections on Japan.

Affect/Reading Body

In his later work, Barthes conceives reading as a bodily and emotional experience; the text produces an affective 'reality effect' within the reader’s body.

Text as Body

The text is conceived as a body filled with erotic and sensual associations; the reader enters into a relation of pleasure and jouissance with this body.

Ideology Of Everyday Life

The ideological character of unquestioned meanings circulating in everyday discourse and imagery such as newspapers, sport, advertising, and fashion.

Fragmentary Text

Especially in works such as A Lover’s Discourse, Barthes employs a fragmented writing strategy composed of conceptual entries and aphorisms.
