«Mitologías» is Roland Barthes's essay on semiology and cultural criticism, published by Siglo XXI de España in paperback (257 pages, in Spanish).
Barthes analyzes myths of everyday life: wrestling, advertising, the press, or a dish of food, and shows how, presented as natural, they convey bourgeois ideology. The author starts from the idea that myth functions as a language, and the volume closes with a theory of myth as a system of signification.
Translation by Héctor Schmucler. The work was originally published in French as Mythologies in 1957. This edition belongs to the Teoría collection.
For readers interested in semiology, communication, and mass culture.
Roland Gérard Barthes was a French literary theorist, essayist, philosopher, critic, and semiotician. His work engaged in the analysis of a variety of sign systems, mainly derived from Western popular culture. His ideas explored a diverse range of fields, including structuralism, anthropology, literary theory, and post-structuralism, and influenced the development of multiple schools of theory.
