Abstract
In this article, we state that research on Roland Barthes is generally divided into two branches. On one hand, there are studies devoted to unearth how Barthes responds to contradictions opposing his projects, his ideas about literature and modernity and how literature and language really function in his contemporary social world. On the other hand, researchers try to follow the dialectics of his own work as embedded in the history of the 20th century and in different national or regional readings. We consider that the second approach has to be developed furthermore, mainly from the vantage point of East European researchers who are now able to reconsider Barthes’ entire work in the light of their own historical and intellectual experience and to revisit its political dimension.
