## Description

'Barthes' purpose is to tear away masks and demystify the signs, signals and symbols of the language of mass culture' The Times In this magnificent and often surprising collection of essays Barthes explores the myths of mass culture. Taking subjects as diverse as wrestling, films, plastic and cars, Barthes elegantly deciphers the symbols and signs embedded deep in familiar aspects of modern life, unmasking the hidden ideologies and meanings which implicitly affect our thought and behaviour. This early classic of semiotics from one of France's greatest thinkers may irrevocably change the way you view the world around you.

Review: A classic of "structuralism" !!!! - French philosopher Roland Barthes is universally hailed as the founding father of structuralism. 'Mythologies' is one of his best works.It features 29 essays about topics as diverse as the world of wrestling and the brain of Einstein. All the myths of mass culture have been nicely explored by Barthes. There is also a new translated essay called 'Astrology' in this book.
Review: Simply superb! - Simply superb! Mythmaking is something we all engage in, mostly unconsciously. To bring a clear insight into the process and analyse it for what it is requires a sharp and perceptive intellect, and that Barthes is! Though most of the essays may seem dated or culturally located in distant France, a little effort from the reader goes a long way in understanding his modes and approaches of thought. And that is irresistibly sublime.
