French ideologists of the 20th century followed the footsteps of Nietzsche.They continued the footsteps of Heidegger,Merleau Ponty,and others in the post-structuralism trend that swayed the consciousness of the subject,and rebelled against it by raising the status of the body.Plato regarded people as rational,spiritual existence and devaluation of the body as an animal.From the pioneers of structuralism semiotics to the hedonists in post-structuralism,Roland Barthes has always maintained a focus on the body.Barthes'opinion of the body in different books constitutes his unique view of the body.From the passive body that obeys the ideological system behind the myth,to the open,active jouissance body that follows the desire and enjoyment,to the playful body that collides with the text on the side of the body in reading writing activities,to the full of emotions.Barthes' view of the body not only moves from passive to active,from single to open plural,but also from the symbols in the structure to full of desire and emotion.In this process,Barthes gradually walks away from the analytical pattern of signifiers that treat the body as a similar tool,and replaces it with autobiographical,fragmentary writings that follow the body's desires and inner emotions,and gain enjoyment and emotional comfort in them.Barthes became a hedonist in the later stages of his academic career.He pursued his own desires in physical reading and writing,and he gained enjoyment.With the help of physical pleasure,Barthes not only rebelled against the rationality and truth posed by the philosophy of consciousness,but also by reverting to the individual's body,it rebels against a fixed and repeated social ideology.The text is divided into four parts.The first part studies Barthes's view of body in both East and West in "Mythologies" and "Symbol Empire." In the contrast between East and West,Barthes presents a lack of active body associated with symbols.The second part studies the bodies of "Sade Fourier Loyola" and "The Pleasure of The Text" The textual hedonism proposed by Barthes in "The Pleasure of The Text" has appeared in the"Sade Fourier Loyola".In the analysis of Sade's novel,Barthes showed appreciation of the liberators filled with energy and desire.The qualities of the liberator also appeared in the euphoric texts.Here Barthes began to present text-related bodies full of desire and enjoyment.The third part studies the body in "A Lover's Discourse","Roland Barthes par Roland Barthes" and "Camera Lucida".On the one hand,in these three books,the body presents a kind of game state that collides in the text.The text-related bodies are autonomous,full of energy and creativity,and Barthes,who said "The author is dead,"has also created a hedonic style in these works with a body of vague authors and readers.In " A Lover's Discourse " and " Camera Lucida ",the body is not only in pleasure,but the body with Dionysian spirit is also a body full of love and emotion.Barthes recalls Mom's photos and pays attention to his body.It is also different from the "performance"body in "Mythologies".In this difference,Barthes also reflects the vigor of the body from the passive to the emphasis on the body,the active desire and pleasure.The fourth part summarizes Barthes' view of the body and tries to explore the reasons for Barthes'change about the view of body?One reason is about Barthes' childhood and life experience.Also,it combines French structure-post-structuralism and 20th century body philosophy.Inquire into Bart's view of the body and gain a deeper understanding of Barthes' academic thought.
