The book's title was inspired by Roland Barthes' “A Lover's Discourse: Fragments,” his 1977 impressionistic treatise on desire. ϻ�Feeling restless and blue, I have recently started reading Roland Barthes' "A lover's Discourse." The first time I ravaged (yes, and this is the only appropriate word to describe my experience) this book was back in college. Barthes calls them "figures" -- gestures of the lover at work. And Fragments d'un discours amoureux (A Lover's Discourse: Fragments). Ergo, the lover's discourse is built on backwards compatibility with each model deriving from its predecessor. In A Lover's Discourse, Roland Barthes compiles a (non-exhaustive) list of "fragments" pertaining to the discourse oflovers. Again, this is not really a reference. Richard Howard; Hill and Wang, New York, 2010. Barthes, Roland: A Lover's Discourse - Fragments, tr. Tip 1: Punctuation and footnotes. A Lovers Discourse by Roland Barthes consists of a peripatetic fragmentary writing which explores the 'extreme solititude' that is a lovers discourse evicted by authoritative discourses, placed outside as it were, yet perhaps [As opposed to the ' asexual Hegelian detail, and the Freudian sexually differentiated detail, the concrete and the particular detail belonging to the feminine, the fragment as it were a solid, detached, partial archeaological and masculine object ]. In Barthes's A Lover's Discourse, we see the idea that a lover is truly in extreme solitude even when in a relationship. To me, it is more like a glossary that was attempted to be written by a lover, for a lover, and of a lover. Time, an indispensable dimension of pleasure, is cut into fragments that can no longer be enjoyed” (Bifo 5). €�Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments. Chronicles of Higher Education.
