Barthes Germinal

Abstract

This paper tries and examines how the metaphor of the living gives high stakes of Barthes’ poetics, putting him together with the most current considerations in hermeneutics: one can think of Stanley Fish, Marielle Macé but also of Heinz Wismann. The future of poetics would consist of not separating art from the living.
