Correct option is C
In his essay "From Work to Text," Roland Barthes contends that the Text is plural and that the work is ordinarily the object of consumption.
The Text is plural
Barthes argues that the Text is not a fixed and singular object, but rather a plural and open-ended field of meaning. The Text is created by the reader, who brings their own experiences and interpretations to the work.
The work is ordinarily the object of consumption
Barthes argues that the work is typically seen as an object to be consumed by the reader. The reader is expected to passively receive the meaning of the work. Barthes challenges these traditional views of the Text and the work. He argues that the Text is not a fixed and singular object, but rather a plural and open-ended field of meaning. He also argues that the reader should not passively consume the work, but rather should actively produce meaning. Barthes' ideas have been highly influential in literary theory and criticism. His work has helped to shift the focus from the author and the work to the reader and the Text.
Some quotes from "From Work to Text" that illustrate Barthes' ideas:
"The Text is not a closed object to be deciphered; it is an open field, a space of play and of multiple possibilities."
"The work is ordinarily the object of consumption; the Text is the object of production."
"The reader is the producer of the Text."
Barthes' work is complex and challenging, but it is also rewarding. He offers a unique and insightful perspective on the nature of literature and the act of reading.
