London: Jonathan Cape; 1982. pp. 461–461, To be fair, the Barthesian formulation of a “fascist” image should be understood in its own context of language and power. In the “Inaugural Lecture,” Barthes argues that “to utter a discourse is not, as is too often repeated, to communicate; it is to subjugate”; he further explains that, once he speaks, he is “both master and slave”—a “slave” because he inevitably settles into the servitude of signs (or discourse), but a “master” yet because he asserts his own act of speaking (ibid., pp. 460-61)..
