Notes

1 Published in Le Nouvel-Observateur 71 (23 March 1966), 28–29, in the ‘Women’s condition’ column.

2 [Editors’ note: no doubt an early title for Lefebvre’s La Vie quotidienne dans le monde moderne, first published in 1968; Lefebvre had earlier published a Critique de la vie quotidienne in 1947 (republished in 1958), and then a second volume, Fondements d’une sociologie de la quotidienneté, in 1962.]

3 [Editors’ note: Barthes is almost certainly referring to Edmund Bergler M. D., Fashion and the Unconscious, New York, Robert Brunner, 1953.]

4 [Editors’ note: Duvignaud is referring to Baudelaire’s idea that women’s bodies and the clothes that cover them are ‘an indivisible totality’. See Le Peintre de la vie moderne, in Charles Baudelaire, Curiosités esthétiques, Paris, Garnier Frères, 1962, 486–490 (translated as The Painter of Modern Life and Other Essays, by Jonathan Mayne, New York, Da Capo Press, 1985).]

5 [Editors’ note: smart and chic street of clothing boutiques in the bourgeois sixteenth arrondissement of Paris.]

6 [Editors’ note: see E. Dichter, Strategy of Desire, London, T. V. Boardman & Co., 1960, 244.]
