Art/Literary - Linguistics | | German term or phrase: Der entgegenkommende und der stumpfe Sinn | | This is about Roland Barthes. In German there is a book titled like this, but I would need the specific phrase for "entgegenkommender und stumpfer Sinn". My search has not turned up anything other than the French and German titles. |

So the French title does not actually include these two words Barthes uses throughout the text to describe different levels of meaning.

As a side note, I cannot hold the thought that it is incredible how much all of the postmodernists owe to Husserl. I was never a good reader of Barthes, but with a phenomenological framework, I can take just a glimpse at his concepts and they all fall into place.
Then again, they wrote on more specious, attractive issues, and, last but not least, they actually could write. But enough with these off-topicisms. |
