There has been some confusion regarding the Barthes reading, so let me lay it all out here to make sure we’re all on the same page:

• tomorrow we will wrap up our discussion of Jakobson and (I hope) get through most of the Barthes pieces (i.e., the collection in the Norton + the .pdf of the later Eiffel Tower essay on Dropbox)
• I did not post study questions for the Barthes stuff, since it’s a bit more practical than theoretical in a sense
• the syllabus states that a post is due for tomorrow, but since some students were confused by the lack of study questions (and, hey, I’m glad you noticed they weren’t there!), let’s have Post #3 due by Friday (you can write about Jakobson, Barthes, or de Man).
