There are amazing insights here that I think will be extremely useful for my thesis! Definitely a text to return to for its breakdown of semiotics.

suppose i should say something... barthes is a very funny guy. i truly enjoyed many of his observations (plastics carry the names of greek shepherds). helped to demystify some of the mysticism swirling about semiotics (not, however, destroying it via its liberation from the sign-signifier-signified relation). 4 because some of the analysis felt to get a little repetitive, and it was exceedingly french, and sometimes i didn’t feel like looking up the greek

Barthes lives in a myth, portraying it into a world that looses meaning. This book is a desperate cry for the creation of secular meaning, he fails at this, not only through his "myths" but also though a very constrictive conception of semiotics.
Language may be dynamic and alive in myth but once Barthes grabs it, it dies of sorrow.

Barthes would have made it big on twitter.
