Synopsis

S/Z is the linguistic distillation of Barthes's system of semiology, a science of signs and symbols, in which a Balzac novella, Sarrasine, is dissected semantically in order to uncover layers of unsuspected meanings and connotations. In the process, Barthes reveals the immeasurably fecund nature of language. His interpretation of language and meaning within the structuralist mode offers an altogether new and exciting vision of ageworn ideas, and stands, in 20th century thought, alongside Levi-Strauss's work in anthropology.
