UNLOCKED: /551/ Reading Club: Mythologies ft. Catherine Liu

1 tim 30 min•23 juni 2026

On Roland Barthes' Mythologies.

(This is an unlocked episode from our Reading Club. Subscribe for more like this.)

Alex, George, and contributing editor Catherine Liu delve into Barthes' 1957 classic to understand the form of ideology critique it proposes – and particularly as it relates to left and right.

  • If the bourgeoisie generates myth, is revolution a cathartic act that gets us beyond myth?

  • Is the direct producer also unable to speak myth, or is this a romanticisation?

  • What are predominant left-wing myths today? Is "left vs right" a myth of sorts?

  • Is the critic of myths condemned to live a "theoretical sociality"? Should people just be allowed to enjoy things?
