(1915-1980) He was one of the most important intellectual figures to emerge in post-war France, and his writings are still, to this day, the subject of study and discussion. This French critic and essayist developed much of his work in an ambiguous space between linguistics and literature. Among his books, his semiological studies on the image gained great recognition. In 1977, he was appointed to the chair of Literary Semiology at the Collège de France, which was specially created for him on the advice of Michel Foucault. Barthes defined himself as "an uncertain subject": too literary for linguists, too linguist for literary critics. Perhaps it is this trait that has made him one of the most influential thinkers and theorists in his field.
