On Roland Barthes' Mythologies.
Alex, George, and contributing editor Catherine Liu delve into Barthes' 1957 classic to understand the form of ideology critique it proposes – and particularly as it relates to left and right.
If the bourgeoisie generates myth, is revolution a cathartic act that gets us beyond myth?
Is the direct producer also unable to speak myth, or is this a romanticisation?
What are predominant left-wing myths today? Is "left vs right" a myth of sorts?
Is the critic of myths condemned to live a "theoretical sociality"? Should people just be allowed to enjoy things?
