Summary:
Notre vie quotidienne se nourrit de mythes : le catch, le strip-tease, l'auto, la publicité, le tourisme... qui bientôt nous débordent. Isolés de l'actualité qui les fait naître, l'abus idéologique qu'ils recèlent apparaît soudain. Roland Barthes en rend compte ici avec le souci - formulé dans l'essai sur le mythe aujourd'hui qui clôt l'ouvrage - de réconcilier le réel et(...)

Ce volume contient l'intégralité du texte des Mythologies et environ 120 illustrations. Parues en 1957, les Mythologies de Roland Barthes constituent un cas à part dans l'édition : depuis plus de cinquante ans, elles ont eu des centaines de milliers de lecteurs ; attachées à saisir une époque, elles n'ont pourtant pas pris une ride.

Bref, les Mythologies sont désormais inscrites dans notre patrimoine littéraire. Pourquoi illustrer les Mythologies ? Avant tout parce que leur objet est très souvent visuel. On sait l'intérêt que Barthes portait à la photographie. Son regard sur la presse ( Paris-Match, Elle )et la publicité est tout aussi omniprésent dans le livre. Ce volume entend donc donner à voir l'univers visuel de Barthes, le texte caché en quelque sorte. Le résultat est fort, surprenant, parfois drôle.

Summary:

The Neutral preceded this work, containing Barthes’s challenge to the classic oppositions of Western thought and his effort to establish new pathways of meaning. How to Live Together predates both achievements, a series of lectures exploring solitude and the degree of contact necessary for individuals to exist and create at their own pace. A distinct project that sets the tone for his subsequent lectures, How to Live Together is a key introduction to Barthes’s pedagogical methods and critical worldview.

Her photographs of anthropomorphized trees, walls of litter-strewn vegetation, rocks and disintegrating leaves, all taken during a four-year stay in Barcelona between 2007 and 2011, are informed by three figures whose texts are excerpted in this volume: Roland Barthes, particularly his discussion of mourning in Camera Lucida; Charles Burchfield, whose pantheistic painterly animations of landscape have much inspired Lynch; and Wendell Berry, whose essay on approaching nature with respect and humility helped to further hone her process.

For Barthes, words and objects have in common the organized capacity to say something; at the same time, since they are signs, words and objects have the bad faith always to appear natural to their consumer, as if what they say is eternal, true, necessary, instead of arbitrary, made, contingent. Mythologies finds Barthes revealing the fashioned systems of ideas that make it possible, for example, for 'Einstein's brain' to stand for, be the myth of, 'a genius so lacking in magic that one speaks about his thought as a functional labor analogous to the mechanical making of sausages.' Each of the little essays in this book wrenches a definition out of a common but constructed object, making the object speak its hidden, but ever-so-present, reservoir of manufactured sense." -Edward W. Said

Summary:
"No denunciation without its proper instrument of close analysis," Roland Barthes wrote in his preface to Mythologies. There is no more proper instrument of analysis of our contemporary myths than this book—one of the most significant works in French theory, and one that has transformed the way readers and philosophers view the world around them. Our age is a triumph of codification. We own devices that bring the world to the command of our fingertips. We have access to boundless information and prodigious quantities of stuff. We decide to like or not, to believe or not, to buy or not. We pick and choose. We think we are free. Yet all around us, in pop culture, politics, mainstream media, and advertising, there are codes and symbols that govern our choices. They are the fabrications of consumer society. They express myths of success, well-being, or happiness. As Barthes sees it, these myths must be carefully deciphered, and debunked. What Barthes discerned in mass media, the fashion of plastic, and the politics of postcolonial France applies with equal force to today's social networks, the iPhone, and the images of 9/11. This new edition of Mythologies, complete and beautifully rendered by the Pulitzer Prize–winning poet, critic, and translator Richard Howard, is a consecration of Barthes's classic—a lesson in clairvoyance that is more relevant now than ever.
