Barthes's Imaginary Voyages

Author

Abstract

Reading L 'Empire des signes and Alors la Chine as points of departure, the article explores a network of reciprocal images of the text as voyage and the voyage as text, with Barthes as a self-styled, disinherited ethnographer/traveler.

Keywords: L 'Empire des signes, Alors la Chine, voyage, text
