Slitting the language or enunciation and writing

Abstract

This paper aims to reflect on the inaugural barthesian proposition that conceives the writing as a manner of the writer to inscribe himself in the language; this notion, presented in Writing Degree Zero, seems to be amplified in later texts to the mid-60s as a form of the linguistic subject to engage the world, specifically taken here as a way of slitting or engraving the language. It is considered that Barthes’comprehension of the text as a production has been stressed in the late 1960s, coinciding with this idea of the text manipulation Benveniste’s studies. It is known that the discussions concerning the enunciation idea have had particular interest to Barthes. In this sense, this paper explores how the notion of enunciation is operated and appropriated byBarthes in the end of the 1960s decade and at the beginning of the 1970s. Thus, it is intended to reflect how enunciation amplifies the discussion of "moral of form" from the comprehension of the subject that inscribes himself in language, for the dissemination produced by this subject and finally for the effective responsibility of the form produced by this displacement.
