Roland Barthes is best known as a literary critic and essayist and as a member of that generation of internationally distinguished French intellectuals ( maîtres à penser ) that includes the philosopher/historian Michel Foucault, the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, and the anthropologist Claude Lévi‐Strauss. His relevance for sociology derives above all from the way his writings (1) served to construct linkages between semiology (the study of sign systems), ideological processes, and social structures; (2) made plain just how the possible objects of inquiry of such a “social semiology” might be massively extended; and (3) contributed to the interpretation of readership as social practice
