Barthes

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani refers to Roland Barthes mainly in connection with Racine. He credits him with having seen that Phèdre is a tragedy of confession1. In another session, citing Sur Racine, he recalls that Barthes had said so before another reader of the play2. The phrase thus returns in 2017 and again in 2020, each time Racinian tragedy is discussed. He also quotes him on singing: Barthes said that Panzera's voice had a unique grain3. Elsewhere, Barthes appears in a different register, that of the intellectual debates of his time. Dominique Pagani places him among the maîtres à penser (intellectual gurus) that Michel Clouscard dealt with4. He also mentions him among those who likewise took up semiology5. The passages are brief. They link Barthes sometimes to a reading of Racine that Dominique Pagani takes up, and sometimes to the maîtres à penser examined in Clouscard's wake.
