All Love Told: Barthes and the Novel

The Erotikon symposium brought together a stellar group of intellectuals to discuss, debate, and celebrate the nature, history, and power of eros through its manifold embodiments in the cultural arts. The symposium inspired the book Erotikon: Essays on Eros, Ancient and Modern now available from the University of Chicago Press. Below are selections from the presentations at the Erotikon symposium held at the University of Chicago in March of 2001.
