"Mythologist" Roland Barthes deciphered various myths in daily life in "The Rhetoric of Myth" and explored the reconciling of reality and human beings, description and interpretation, objects and knowledge. Barthes is trying to express to the reader that we are constantly navigating between the object and demystifying it, without the ability to restore the whole picture: because if we enter the object, we liberate it but destroy it; if we let it go, we respect it but also mystify it.
Reader comments
This book is very interesting! Starting from various myths in daily life, Roland Barthes deeply explored issues such as reality and human beings, description and interpretation. His unique perspective gave me a new perspective on myths and ideologies. Moreover, the title of this book "Mythical Rhetoric" is also very appropriate. Barth has indeed been paying attention to rhetorical issues. I think this book is worth reading and will give people a lot of inspiration.
