From work to text by Roland Barthes

Roland Barthes  was French essays and social literary creating who's writing on semiitice and formal studies of symbols and science pioncred by Ferdinand -de - saussare, help established structuralism and new criticism as leading intellectual movement.

In this essay from work to text, Barthes argue that the relation of writer reader and observer is changed by movement from work to text. From work to text is based on following theories,
  1. The method 
  2. The general
  3. The sings
  4. The plurality
  5. The filiation 
  6. The reading/ referring
  7. The pleasure.
1. The method : 

Text is not definite object that is why material separation is not possible of work and text. Work is concerned with the text is methodological field. there may be text in a very ancient work while many produce of contemporary literature are in no way text. 

bird can be seen in book stories in card catalogues and on list while the text reveals itself  articulates against certain rules. What is physical text is in language. Text can be experience only in activity or in a production. Text is a field dominant in nature or not in stagnant as a work and text can cut across several work. 

2. The Genres :

the text does not come to stop as it cannot be delivered on the basis of hierarchy for generes. It is a software save for as some writers cut across the generes perhaps they write one and same text in a different generes.

Text is always supposed to paradoxical text to do limit of enunciation. The text pause a problem of classification because it always involves a certain experience of limits.  The text tries to please itself very exactly behind the limit of generous all literary text are woven out of other literary text. There is no literary originality all literature is intertextual and paradoxical.

3. The sign : 

Text is an approach and it is experience in relation to sign while work closes itself on the the signified. Signified is secret ine text and it is ultimate as one has to search for it. Work is general sign text.

Text is direct to its field of signified. There is an an idea of freeped  which is concept by derrida. Logic governing text is not comprehensive text has liberal symbolic memory is radically symbolic. 

A work whose extragalactic symbolic nature one conceive passive and receive is text. Text is restricted two language and language is structured but it is central without and legal language is a system without an centre

4. The Plurality : 

Not only several meaning but particularly of some meaning is important in text. Text cannot be interpreted it can be explore. Text depend on the particularaity  of signinifiy that weave it.

Subject is idli free and laureti and for empathetic experience search for meaning which one multiple and irredusable.  Text itself never gives a meaning but gives a code. 

Text is culture in nature. We should gain knowledge of every culture. if you have knowledge of multiple culture you would be able to understand things in different way. 

Text is intertextual sometime anonymous condition guide its source and influence multiple and sometime unknown. 

Difference between text and work lies in profound modification in active reading. you cannot define anything without reading mind set differentiate text and work. 

5. The Filiation : 

Text is read without the author on the other hand work has three things,

  1. Determination of work bi outside  world.
  2. Allocation of work is to its author.
  3. The history of the work is written by author.
Text grows and expand. It is an network combination. Read text and Grew more. Text does not have granity of father neither does it require. Text doesn't have water and it doesn't require also is replaceable. 

You read the text and get across the life. Text is never temporary it change life. If we read text transform is  understandingand we see the thing we talk and read. We don't take text as destination it is a journey. 

6. The reading : 

There is no structural difference between casual and structural reading. When we read text or a work both are same in structure but different in meaning.  

Text is different from work because of it conjamoason and gather it as a play for activity. Everyone of us has different conjamoason . Text link itself into context of reader or writer as one. Reading a text is playing with what is given to you. When we read the text it gives something to us it gives new way of thinking or new way to our thought process. Reading text and reading work is different than each other. 

7. The Pleasure : 

Pleasure of reading involves conjunction. If we feel good that reading give us pleasure. we feel connection with it. One can read but cannot rewrite. Text is link to enjoyment work is associated with meaningfull reading. From text we get enjoyment while from work we get moral.

Text survive in Utopia and all language circulate freely in text. For understand text we don't need language text can not break by language.  The theory of the text is nothing else but practice and pleasure in text trans and social relation and language relation. How much you read the text you grow. In text it is our insight which is important.
