In the 1960 s,"anti-center,anti-authority" became the hot topic of Western academic circles,which was performed particularly activated in Roland Barthes' literary field.Barthes revolves around the author,the text,the reader,the reading and other factors to start the center and the authority of the resistance,and then Barthes' reading theory came into being.Roland Barthes took the creation of readers as a breakthrough,not only to change the traditional concept of text,but also promotes the development of literary criticism in the field of readers,forming a unique theory of reading.Thus,this article will take the development of Barthes' reading theory as a clue,taking new text concepts,anti hero readers,wandering reading strategies and hedonistic reading experiencesas as the main research content,and trying to carry out a more comprehensive display and research on Barthes reading theory.This article will be carried out through the following six parts.The introduction part,through analysis of the research materials of Barthes' reading theory in recent decades,put forward the research significance and purpose of Barthes' reading theory.The first chapter starts with the background of Barthes' reading theory.The tendency of structuralism to poststructuralist literary studies has helped Barthes to shift the focus of the study from the deep structure of the text to the reader's reading activity.In addition,the rebellion between Barthes and the academy,the refutation of the literary criticism centered on the author or the text,further provides the possibility of rebirth of the text,the reader's liberation and reading.The second chapter explores his theory of text.Text to redefine by Barthes text theory,the text from the entity in order to change the objectivity refers to the play space,which is the infinite delay here,and the reader's reading activities has become a kind of creative writing.The text of the new understanding of Barthes,provides free reading space for readers reading activities,constitute the cornerstone of Barthes reading theory.The third chapter aims to further promote the Barthes' reading theory,which mainly includes three aspects of the content: an anti hero reader;a wandering readingstrategy;a hedonistic reading experience.Barthes asked readers to read the courage to challenge the mainstream culture and traditional ethical concepts,so as to form a kind of anti-heroic characters;reading strategy is to break the integrity of the text,wandering in the text of the break at the way of reading;the enjoyment of the reading experience replaces the meaning of the text and becomes the pursuit of the reader's reading activities.The fourth chapter focuses on Barthes' contribution to reading theory.The comparison between Barthes' reading theory and Reader-response Criticism shows that Barthes' critical attitude to the interpretation of authority and the reader' s attitudes towards scholars' attitudes are the guiding principles of reading theory in dealing with authors,texts and readers.Finally,the conclusion part will summarize the central content of this article,emphasizing the practical significance and literary value of Barthes' reading theory.
