Abstract

This foreign research internship aims to take delve into questions directly connected to the ongoing research in the country, whose question is the relation existing between the fragmentary writings and politics in Roland Barthes's oeuvre. This study intends to work with the writings from the 1950's, especially those related to the Théâtre Populaire magazine and review their connection to history taking into account the events from May, 1968. We intend to collect notes about the question of politics in the Fonds Roland Barthes, at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BnF). This internship will contribute as basis for the last block of chapters in the master's degree dissertation about "another politics" developed in the 1970's: the politics of the fragment. (AU)
