We're back to our regular format this week and continuing our unpacking of Roland Barthes' Mythologies; specifically, signification, the mythologist, and the reader of myths, as well as laying the methodology for how we’re going to be looking at utopia as a philosophical or socio-political ‘strategy.’ We take a look at the signs "the Party of Lincoln" and "MAGA" and, having done so, I could really go for some of "the good French Wine" right about now.

Obligatory bibliography, or books (and articles) you may also want to check out:

Barthes, Roland. 2012. Mythologies 1st American ed. New York: Hill and Wang.
