“The theory of the Text can coincide only with a practice of writing.”

Roland Barthes (1915–1980) French philosopher, critic and literary theorist

Conclusion
From Work to Text (1971)
Context: The discourse on the Text should itself be nothing other than text, research, textual activity, since the Text is that social space which leaves no language safe, outside, nor any subject of the enunciation in position as judge, master, analyst, confessor, decoder. The theory of the Text can coincide only with a practice of writing.
