Synopsis "The Language of Fashion (Bloomsbury Revelations)"

Roland Barthes was one of the most widely influential thinkers of the 20th Century and his immensely popular and readable writings have covered topics ranging from wrestling to photography. The semiotic power of fashion and clothing were of perennial interest to Barthes and The Language of Fashion - now available in the Bloomsbury Revelations series - collects some of his most important writings on these topics. Barthes' essays here range from the history of clothing to the cultural importance of Coco Chanel, from Hippy style in Morocco to the figure of the dandy, from colour in fashion to the power of jewellery. Barthes' acute analysis and constant questioning make this book an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the cultural power of fashion.

(1915-1980) Fue una de las figuras intelectuales más importantes que emergieron en Francia en la posguerra, y sus escritos son, todavía hoy, objeto de estudio y discusión. Este crítico y ensayista francés, desarrolló gran parte de su trabajo en un ambiguo espacio entre la lingüística y la literatura. Entre sus libros, obtuvieron gran reconocimiento sus estudios semiológicos sobre la imagen. En 1977 fue designado titular de la cátedra de Semiología Literaria del Collège de France, que fue creada especialmente para él por consejo de Michel Foucault. Barthes se definió a sí mismo como “un sujeto incierto”: demasiado literario para los lingüistas, demasiado lingüista para los críticos literarios. Quizá sea este rasgo el que lo ha convertido en uno de los pensadores y teóricos más influyentes en su campo.
