An exchange of Words (with Jean-Paul
Sartre)
In this project HMRC have taken
Jean-Paul Sartre’s book Words as reading material and responded to the
text in ways that seem to express reading behaviour that Roland Barthes calls ‘insolent
in that it interrupts the text, and smitten in that it keeps returning to it’.[1]
[1] Roland Barthes, The Rustle of Language, trans. by Richard Howard, Oxford: Basil Blackwell Ltd, 1986, p. 29 [Le Bruissement de la langue, Paris: Editions du Seuil, 1984].
