SUMMARY:John Lurz, English Department at Tufts University: Living Literature: Reflexions on the Fantastic Value of "S/Z" ( Harvard MHC Seminar on Novel Theory)
DESCRIPTION:<p>	This talk asks what it means for us, as students of literature, to see the texts we read within the lives that we live and to see the lives that we live within the texts that we read.  Attempting to approach this question regarding the reflexion of literature and life through the functioning of the signifier rather than through the mirroring of any specific signified, it reworks Roland Barthes’ arguments in <em>S/Z </em>(as well as one of his early discussions of Proust) to explore the common structure of signification by which the intelligibility of both verbal articulation and lived experience is constituted. </p><p>	More Information: <a data-url="https://mahindrahumanities.fas.harvard.edu/event/living-literature-reflexions-fantastic-value-sz" href="https://mahindrahumanities.fas.harvard.edu/event/living-literature-reflexions-fantastic-value-sz" target="_blank" title="">https://mahindrahumanities.fas.harvard.edu/event/living-literature-reflexions-fantastic-value-sz</a></p>
