Reading: Barthes' Ideas about Text


Dear friends, for next class, please read this excerpt from Rolande Barthes' "The Pleasures of the Text" and write a 250-word blog response.

In particular, please consider in your response how Barthes' ideas might (or might not) be applied to "reading" music as a "text".  Another, deeper consideration-- are both country and hip hop "texts" in the same sense, or in different senses? Tackle that only if you want.

  1. Hi Professor, I sent you an e-mail but I thought I would reach out on a different platform again just to let you know that the imbedded link for this assignment isn't working for me and I was wondering if there was another way I could access the excerpt we're supposed to read? Thanks! Brenna Raffe
