Elocvent pentru demersul critic al lui Livius Ciocarlie mi se pare micul eseu despre Barthes: Puterea impotrivirii sau utopia neputerii... Un articol aproape elegiac, scris la moartea marelui semiotician; in el este vorba de faptul ca pentru Barthes literatura este “mirajul unui cerc vicios” si ca in proiectul lui surazator este o blandete, iar in suras o tristete. Si Livius Ciocarlie isi paraseste domeniile cucerite (teoria pentru critica si critica pentru roman), nici lui nu-i place orgoliul de a intimida de care abuzeaza intelighentia de la Tel Quel... (Eugen Simion)


I believe the revealing thing for the critical approach of Livius Ciocarlie is his short essay about Barthes: The Power of Opposition or the Utopia of Powerlessness - an article which is almost an elegy, written at the death of the great semiotics scholar; it says that for Barthes literature is “the mirage of a vicious circle” and that in his smiling project there is meekness and in his smile, there is sadness. Livius Ciocarlie, too, leaves his conquered fields (theory in favor of criticism and criticism in favor of the novel), he too dislikes the vanity of intimidation, which the intelligentsia of Tel Quel uses too much...
