Barthes' aim is to uncover the masks and demystify the signs, indicators, and symbols of the language of mass culture. In this wonderful and often surprising collection of essays, Barthes explores the myths of mass culture. With topics as diverse as wrestling, films, plastic, and cars, Barthes elegantly decodes the symbols and signs that are deeply embedded in familiar elements of modern life, revealing the hidden ideologies and meanings that implicitly influence our thoughts and behaviors. This early classic work of semiotics by one of France's greatest thinkers can irrevocably change the way you see the world around you.
