«Frammenti di un discorso amoroso» is the essay by Roland Barthes, published by Einaudi in paperback, with 258 pages, in Italian.
Barthes constructs a personal and fragmentary glossary of amorous discourse, arranged alphabetically with terms such as «abbraccio», «cuore» or «notte». The essay traces its sources in Western culture, from Plato to Goethe and Stendhal, with literary and psychoanalytic references, and proposes fragmentation to avoid the trivialization of love.
Translation by Renzo Guidieri. Originally published in French in 1977. From the Einaudi tascabili. Saggi collection; includes three interviews with the author, biographical note and essential bibliography.
For readers interested in the essay, philosophy and the analysis of amorous language in Western literature.
Roland Gérard Barthes was a French literary theorist, essayist, philosopher, critic, and semiotician. His work engaged in the analysis of a variety of sign systems, mainly derived from Western popular culture. His ideas explored a diverse range of fields, including structuralism, anthropology, literary theory, and post-structuralism, and influenced the development of multiple schools of theory.
