LATE ROLAND BARTH – “TIRED OF THE PROXIMITY OF BORDERS”

The article analyzes the late works of R. Barth, in which structuralist positions receive criticism. Entering the translinguistic level of considering language brings Barthes not only to the problems of discourse, but also to the fundamentally textual nature of the observed world. The classification of the text makes obvious the dependence of both the author and the reader on the global text space, which not only devalues them, but also cancels the significance of the semantic, turning everything into a game of interpretation. Barthes associates a new approach to the text as a universal space with the depragmatization of codes, signs and sociolects. Contrary to expectations, this does not make the text clear and understandable, but dissolves the content of the work in the voices of social codes, finally losing the voice of the author and the reader’s desire to join in the meaning.
