✅ Summary -

Mythologies by Roland Barthes is a collection of essays that analyze modern cultural myths and how they shape our understanding of society. Written in 1957, Barthes examines everyday objects, advertisements, films, and social practices, revealing how they carry hidden ideological messages. Using semiotics, he deconstructs myths behind subjects like professional wrestling, detergents, and even the image of wine in French culture, showing how these elements serve to reinforce dominant power structures. The second part of the book introduces his theoretical framework on myths and how they function as a form of communication.
