A Lover's Discourse - Roland Barthes Peter Bergsma about illness … about marriageThe language we use when we are in love is not a language we speak. It is a language addressed to ourselves and to our imaginary beloved. It is a language of solitude, of mythology, of what Barthes calls an 'image repertoire'. Reviving the notion of the amorous subject beyond psychological or clinical enterprises, Barthes A Lovers Discourse is a book for everyone who has ever been in love, or indeed, thought themselves to be immune to its power.
