Five Barthe's Narrative Codes, and Looking Into Terms.
Mort de 'auteur - Death of Author
Binary Opposition - Hot or cold, day or night
Dominant Ideology - Principal views in a given society
Scopophilia - Pleasure devised from viewing
Five Barthes' Narrative Codes - The 5 Codes
Barthes concluded that any one of the 5 codes can be woven into any text and they are integral to interpreting them.
The Hermaneutic or Enigma Code (HER)
The Action or Proairetic Code (ACT)
The Semanatic Code (SEM)
The Symbolic Code (SYM)
The Referential or Culture Code (REF)
(HER) - For example, "Reservoir Dogs" by Quentin Tarantino
Snares: When the truth is purposely avoided.
Equivications: Technique used to give the viewer patial or incomplete answers as to how the text would end.
The mysterious element of the text to be showed by audience and then eventually for them.
The ambiguity of this code draws the audience in.
- Refers to any part of the story unexplained. -
(ACT) - For example, "Rope" by Alfred Hitchcock
Action and suspense used traditionally for escapism.
(SEM) - For example, "Rope" by Alfred Hitchcock
Connote an extra maening, usualyl done through props and dialogue.
(SYM) - For example, "Rope" by Alfred Hitchock
Very similar to the SEM code.
Symbolic code used to convey meaning through symbolism.
(REF) For example, "Pulp Fiction" by Quentin Tarantino
This refers to the part of the story that tends to point out our shared knowledge.
Male Gaze
The determined male gaze projects itself onto the female figure which is styled accordingly. - Laura Mulvey.
It's all about her (scopophilia), and their reactions to looking at her.
