But can it be pinned down? Should the attempt even be made? Léger draws on a life-time of engagement with Barthes to its range of invitations in this book to think through experience and re-connect with the discourse of love. The story of these engagements begins with ones that no longer seem purposeful – the concern with classification and system; before trusting in experience again, including experiencing the manipulations of romance narratives and the search for bite-size ‘truths’. Written in allusive fragments or affective propositions of its own, the piece presents Fragments d’un discours amoureux biographically, autobiographically, speculatively, pleasurably: it’s an invitation to dance in a rhetorical ballet of attachments full of movement and pauses, and the distances between words and people needed to breathe the air of understanding.","PeriodicalId":42177,"journal":{"name":"CounterText-A Journal for the Study of the Post-Literary","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43551483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
