Roland Barthes and Mother
“When I was a child, we lived in a neighborhood called Marac; this neighborhood was full of houses being built, and the children played in the building sites; huge holes had been dug in the loamy soil for the foundations of the houses, and one day when we had been playing in one of these, all the children climbed out except me—I couldn’t make it. From the brink above, they teased me: lost! alone! spied on! excluded! (to be excluded is not to be outside, it is to be alone in the hole, imprisoned under the open sky: precluded); then I saw mother running up; she pulled me out of there and took me far away from the children—against them.”
—Roland Barthes
