Items related to Mythologies
In this magnificent collection of essays, Barthes explores the myths of mass culture taking subjects as diverse as wrestling, films, plastic and cars, deciphering the symbols and signs within familiar aspects of modern life and, in so doing, unmasking the hidden ideologies and meanings which implicitly affect our thought and behaviour.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: NEUF. 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), la publicité, etc. 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. - Nombre de page(s) : 1 vol. (252 p.) - Poids : 1803g - Langue : fre - Genre : Lettres et linguistique Critiques et Essais. Seller Inventory # N9782021034479
