French theorist, philosopher and critic, Barthes died at the age of 64 on the 25th March 1980; born 12th November 1915. He's wide range of studies helped and helped the development of schools.
Roland Barthes developed the 5 code theory, which described the meaning of the text. He suggested that there will be one or more of the 5 codes, and that texts may be 'open' (interpreted in different ways) or 'closed' (there is only one obvious thread to pull on).
The 5 codes:
- The Hermeneutic/Enigma code.
- The Proairetic/Action code.
- The Semantic code.
- The Symbolic code.
- The Referential code.
The Hermeneutic/Enigma code (the voice of truth) - this code states that the story avoids telling the truth or revealing all the facts in order to drop clues in throughout to create mystery.
The Proairetic/Action code - this code refers to the deliberate restriction of the narrative and the way tension is built up and the audience is left guessing what happens next.
The Semantic code - this code points to any element in a text that suggests a particular, often additional meaning.
