Most of these essays were written between 1963 and 1973 and constitute either the elements of the semiotic discipline or the analysis of texts — ranging from the Bible to advertising — in order to determine the site of possible meanings in narratives. Intent on discovering signification's importance in art as well as life, Barthes sets up a rigorous system and puts it to work.
