Abstract

Abstract: The conception of le texte scriptible (the writerly text) in Roland Barthes reveals the character of the text of undistinguished relation between subject and object. According to Barthes, "the text" is both an object and a subject, and if it is a pure object, it will be a work, while as a subject the text brings the author's role into play. The theoretical significance of the text is given not innate, and the pure plurality in Roland Barthes's theory does not refer to multiple meanings, because ambiguity can still lie in a unified structure, when pure plurality eliminates the centrality and unity.

Key words: classification, text, plurality, nomenclature
