📘 Fragments d'un discours amoureux

Le désir de connaître mais aussi la troublante expérience de l'embarras et du tâtonnement confèrent à la réflexion philosophique sa dimension érotique. Pour les mêmes raisons, l'amour est philosophie : l'amoureux s'arrache à son propre point de vue pour porter sur lui-même et le monde le regard d'autrui, subit l'épreuve du doute après l'enthousiasme et nourrit sa réflexion d'incertitudes. Il ne sait plus ce qu'il sait, cherche ses mots, ne sait comment définir l'être aimé et craint d'être sot. Cette hésitation essentielle l'affranchit de la présomption et de l'idiotie. L'idiot, en effet, ne connaît pas l'amour et ses dérèglements : il est partout chez lui, jamais troublé ni dérangé par personne.

📘 De Lichtende Kamer

'Het is alweer een hele tijd geleden dat ik op een dag een foto onder ogen kreeg van Jerôme, de laatste broer van Napoleon. Ik dacht toen bij mezelf, met een verbazing die er sindsdien niet minder op is geworden: "Ik kijk in de ogen die de keizer hebben aanschouwd." Soms had ik het over mijn verbazing, maar aangezien niemand die scheen te delen - zo bestaat het hele leven uit een serie kleine eenzaamheden - dacht ik er verder niet meer aan.' Dit schrijft Roland Barthes in zijn laatste boek. De fotografie bleef hem echter fascineren. 'Ik wilde met alle geweld weten wat de fotografie eigenlijk was, welke wezenstrek hier nu wel het verschil uitmaakte met andere beelden.'

📘 The pleasure of the text

"What is it that we do when we enjoy a text? What is the pleasure of reading? The French critic and theorist Roland Barthes's answers to these questions constitute "perhaps for the first time in the history of criticism ... not only a poetics of reading ... but a much more difficult achievement, an erotics of reading ... Like filings which gather to form a figure in a magnetic field, the parts and pieces here do come together, determined to affirm the pleasure we must take in our reading as against the indifference of (mere) knowledge."--Richard Howard.
