Living Together – Roland Barthes, the Individual and the Community

Is it possible to create a community for those who resist family and communal life? A community where everyone lives according to their own rhythm, and yet respects the individual rhythms of others?

In a thought-provoking and original, interdisciplinary approach to questions of conviviality, the contributions of this anthology respond to Roland Barthes' 1977 lecture series on the subject of "How to Live Together" at the Collège de France in Paris and explore Barthes' utopia of "idiorrhytmic life forms" in literature, arts and other media.
