"The Pleasure of the Text" (1973) is an essay by French philosopher, literary scholar and semiotician Roland Barthes, in which he examines in detail the relationship between the text, the reader and the pleasure of reading. Developing the ideas of Lacanian psychoanalysis, the author contrasts two types of pleasure from the text - through the concepts of plaisir ("pleasure") and jouissance ("enjoyment") - and divides texts into "readable" and "written". According to Barthes, the meaning of the text is not fixed, and when reading, each reader brings their own experience and interpretations, allowing for a plurality of meanings. This work challenges views on authorship and pays special attention to the subjectivity of the reader, emphasizing his or her role in creating the meaning of the text.
