Abstract
In describing the delightful pleasures of reading and writing, Roland Barthes juggles multi-modal sensual metaphors, engaging and entangling the senses in a synaesthetic embrace: words have flavour, a texture, making us giddy, blush and aroused. A text is a body and reading a sensual experience: Barthes’ tactile, kinetic “gush of words*” becomes the basis for thinking, talking and taking action within language. Synaesthetic “patina of consonants, lustful vowels”, “(...) materiality, sensuality of breathing, rasping, softness of lips” becomes the foundation of readers’ and writers’ delight arising out of texts.
