I have been re-reading Barthes recently on a number of topics and thought I'd share this video. I came across it looking up others on his work. He will confound and maybe enlighten.
'Roland Barthes, born in 1915 and died in 1980, was a French literary theorist and philosopher famous for his understanding of how myths operated.'
"Language is legislation, speech is its code. We do not see the power which is in speech because we forget that all speech is a classification, and that all classifications are oppressive." Roland Barthes
