This document provides an overview of Roland Barthes' work on mythologies and the production of myth. It discusses Barthes' understanding of how myths work on a semiotic level through signifiers and signifieds. It also outlines seven key rhetorical figures that Barthes sees as typical of bourgeois ideology in mythical rhetoric, such as neither/norism, the quantification of quality, and the privation of history. The document provides examples to illustrate several of these figures.

Roland Barthes - The modern myth,
Roland Barthes was a leading theorist of semiotics and post-structuralism. In his 1957 book Mythologies, Barthes examines how contemporary social systems create modern myths by draining original ideas of their real meaning and repackaging them with a new signification. Barthes analyzes examples from everyday French life and develops Ferdinand de Saussure's theory of signs by adding a second level of signification where signs are elevated to the level of myth. Barthes believes dominant ideologies successfully present themselves as popular by stripping images of their actual context and meaning to create myths that imply very different messages than reality.

Post-structuralism and deconstruction
Post-structuralism emerged in the 1960s as a response to structuralism. It focuses on examining sources of meaning beyond the author, such as readers and cultural norms. Key figures include Roland Barthes, who argued the author is not the prime source of a text's meaning, and Jacques Derrida, who proposed theoretical limitations to structuralism. Post-structuralism differs from structuralism in its philosophical origins, emphasis on language as unstable rather than orderly, and aim to question assumptions rather than establish truth. Deconstruction examines how meanings play in language and change over contexts to understand silenced voices.
Structuralism
Structuralism emerged in France in the 1950s through the work of Claude Levi-Strauss and Roland Barthes. It believes that phenomena can only be understood in the context of larger structures. Structuralism analyzes relationships between signs and seeks to locate systems of meaning within cultural structures. It was applied to fields like anthropology, sociology, and literature. Key thinkers were Levi-Strauss, who applied structural linguistics concepts to anthropology, and Barthes, who examined aspects of modern culture from a structural perspective.

Structuralism as a Literary Movement
The document discusses structuralism as a literary movement that emerged in the 1950s led by Claude Levi-Strauss. Structuralism holds that human activities and products like language are structured systems and not natural. It focuses on how underlying structures shape surface level meaning. Structuralism examines how language constructs reality and how literary texts are structured to produce meaning through relationships between elements. Some key aspects are that structures determine each element's position, structures deal with coexistence over change, and structures are the "real things" beneath surface meanings.
Mikhail mikhailovich bakhtin, lecture outline
Mikhail Bakhtin was a Russian philosopher and scholar who worked on literary theory, ethics, and philosophy of language. He believed that language is learned through social interaction and that all language use has a point of view and context, making it inherently ideological. Bakhtin also argued that every utterance is a product of interaction between speakers and is influenced by the social situation. He developed concepts of how languages have centripetal forces that aim to standardize language but also centrifugal forces from diverse social uses that challenge standardization and make language heteroglossic.
Critical discourse analysis
Critical discourse analysis (CDA) examines how social power and inequality are reproduced through text and talk. CDA aims to understand and resist social domination by making power relations and ideologies more transparent. CDA analyzes both micro-level discourse and macro-level social structures, and how they interconnect. It focuses on how discourse enactes, confirms, or challenges power abuse and inequality between social groups.
Roland Barthes
Roland Barthes was a French philosopher and literary theorist known for developing structuralist and semiotic theories. He studied at the University of Paris and developed a theory involving 5 codes that add meaning and suspense to texts, such as mystery, action, deeper meaning, symbolism, and references. Barthes contributed significantly to semiotics, which is the study of meaning-making through signs. A sign is composed of a signifier, like a word or image, and a signified meaning or concept. Barthes analyzed signs as being either denotative, with a literal meaning, or connotative, with a deeper secondary meaning.

Colonization in a passage to india
The document discusses colonialism throughout history and its portrayal in E.M. Forster's novel "A Passage to India". It outlines various colonial empires from ancient civilizations to the modern British Empire. It then analyzes how Forster uses the novel to critically examine life under British rule in India in the early 20th century, depicting the tensions and conflicts that arise from the colonial system and how it affects relationships between the British colonists and Indian people. The document asserts that Forster shows colonialism as ultimately harmful to both groups.
Summary of the Course in General Linguistics
A summary of Ferdinand de Saussure's "Course in General Linguisitcs". Largely inspired by the following great blog-entry: http://theendsa.blogspot.com/2007/05/who-hell-is-ferdinand-de-saussure.html
11. intro to lang. saussure, structuralism
Ferdinand de Saussure was a Swiss linguist who is considered one of the founders of structuralism. He introduced key concepts including the linguistic sign consisting of a signifier (phonetic form) and signified (conceptual meaning). According to Saussure, the relationship between signifier and signified is arbitrary. He also distinguished between langue (the system of language) and parole (individual usage). Saussure analyzed how units in a system relate through syntagmatic (sequential) and paradigmatic (substitutable) relationships, and believed underlying structures generated by the human mind organize language. His work established structuralism as a method for interpreting relationships in conceptual systems.
difference structuralism & post-structuralism
Structuralism and post-structuralism differ in their theoretical origins, tones, and projects. Structuralism derives from linguistics and aims to find reliable truths through logical deduction and systematic analysis. It uses a neutral, typical tone. Post-structuralism derives from philosophy and is skeptical in nature, questioning assumptions through word play, puns, and allusion. It sees language as threatening and reality as textual. Post-structuralism aims to deconstruct texts through highlighting contradictions, shifts, and absences rather than finding coherence.
deconstruction by derrida.
Derrida developed the technique of deconstruction to closely analyze texts. Deconstruction aims to uncover the underlying assumptions and conceptual frameworks that shape our understanding. In his work "Structure, Sign and Play", Derrida analyzed the concepts of structure, sign, and play. He argued that meaning is never fully present but always deferred. Derrida was influenced by Nietzsche, Freud, and Heidegger. He explored Nietzsche's famous statement "God is dead" and the implications of the death of God for our understanding of place and power.
Hybridity in Postcolonialism
The document discusses the concept of hybridity in postcolonial literature and culture. It provides examples of hybridity in various forms such as cultural, political, linguistic, and through the creation of a "third space." Specifically, it analyzes the concept of hybridity in Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses, noting how it explores the effects of people being produced by more than one culture through its hybrid geography, languages, characters and narrative style. It also briefly discusses the hybrid music genre of Raï and the Senegalese novel and film Xala, which examines the ambivalence around hybrid postcolonial identities.
Post Structuralism and Deconstruction
Structuralism aims to analyze cultural systems as "coded systems of meaning" by studying patterns in language, customs, and conventions. Post-structuralism emerged in the 1970s and questions structuralism's assumptions about establishing definitive meanings and boundaries. Deconstruction, developed by Jacques Derrida, is a form of analysis that reveals how meanings are unstable and always open to reinterpretation due to the ambiguous nature of language. It focuses on hierarchies, binaries, and prioritizations that have been imposed on concepts and aims to understand silenced or marginalized perspectives.
Structuralism theory
This document provides an overview of structuralism and the ideas of Ferdinand de Saussure. It defines structuralism as studying the basic units and rules that make up any system. For language, the units are words and the rules are grammar. Saussure viewed language as a system of signs, where each sign is a combination of a signifier (sound image) and signified (concept). He also distinguished between langue (the system) and parole (individual usage), and discussed syntagmatic (linear) and associative relations between linguistic units.
Tema # 2 the copenhagen school
The Copenhagen School of Linguistics, also known as the Linguistic Circle of Copenhagen, was founded by Louis Hjelmslev and Viggo Brøndal in the mid-20th century. It developed Hjelmslev's theory of glossematics, which aimed to further structuralism by analyzing language as a formal system. The school was influential in linguistic structuralism along with the Geneva and Prague Schools. It studied the formal properties of language and their interrelations through successive works published by its members. In 1989, a new generation of linguists inspired by cognitive linguistics founded the School of Danish Functional Grammar to continue the Copenhagen School's tradition.
Formalism
Formalism is a literary theory that focuses on the formal elements of a work, such as its language, structure, and literary techniques, rather than its historical context. It emerged in the early 20th century as a reaction against symbolism and romanticism. Major figures included the Russian Formalists like Roman Jakobson and Victor Sholovsky, who studied devices like rhyme, rhythm, and foregrounding. Formalism emphasizes that these formal elements are what make a work literary and produce aesthetic effects through defamiliarization of language. It influenced later structuralism but was limited by not accounting for representation of ideas or interpretation dependent on other elements.
Structuralism and Saussure
Structuralism analyzes underlying structures and relationships between units and rules that generate meaningful systems. Ferdinand de Saussure contributed key ideas to structuralism in linguistics, including that language uses a naming process where words associate with concepts. A linguistic sign combines a signifier (sound) and signified (concept). Signs take value from their relationships within the whole language system rather than individual word-concept pairs. Relations between linguistic units can be syntagmatic (linear combinations) or associative (mental groupings). Saussure's structuralism sees language as a systematic whole greater than parts defined through relational contrasts.
Post Structuralism
This document provides an overview of post-structuralism and how it differs from structuralism. It emerged in France in the 1960s as a critique of structuralism. Post-structuralism holds that studying underlying structures is culturally conditioned and subject to biases. It focuses on how systems of knowledge produce objects and meanings rather than discovering fixed meanings. Prominent post-structuralist thinkers included Derrida, Foucault, Barthes, and Kristeva. Derrida criticized structuralism for assuming a fixed center that organizes structure. Post-structuralism emphasizes the instability of meaning and the role of the reader in interpreting texts rather than the author's intended meaning.
Postcolonialism12
This document provides an overview of postcolonialism as a theoretical framework. It defines postcolonialism as examining the effects of colonialism and imperialism in formerly colonized societies, including how it has shaped their cultures, histories, and identities. It discusses key thinkers who developed postcolonial theory like Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak, Stuart Hall, and Homi Bhabha. It also summarizes some of the main concepts in postcolonialism, such as othering, resistance, hybridity, and how colonial identities were imposed.
Structuralism
Structuralism seeks to identify the underlying systems and conventions of literature. Key figures include Ferdinand de Saussure and Roland Barthes. Saussure viewed language as a social institution and structure that could be studied synchronically. He introduced concepts like the sign, signifier, and signified. Barthes extended structural analysis and semiotics to broader cultural phenomena, helping transition structuralism to post-structuralism.

Postcolonialism
This document provides an overview of postcolonialism, including its definition, origins, key theorists, themes, and texts. It begins by defining postcolonialism as the study of the political, cultural, and linguistic experiences of formerly colonized societies. Some of the major theorists discussed include Edward Said, Frantz Fanon, Gayatri Spivak, and Homi Bhabha. The document also summarizes several postcolonial novels from different regions, including Africa, India/Pakistan, the Caribbean, and Australia/New Zealand to illustrate common postcolonial themes.
Russian formalism
This is a brief presentation of the basic concepts introduced by Russian formalism. It might be considered as a suitable departing point to the understanding of this literary theory.
Wordsworth's theory of poetic diction
William Wordsworth introduced new themes and styles of poetry in his Lyrical Ballads collection in 1798. In the preface, he argued that poetry should be written in the ordinary language of people, not the highly crafted poetic language typically used. He believed poets should select words from the common language of men but refine it, giving it color through their imagination. Wordsworth sought to move away from the neoclassical poetic tradition and write poems in language as it was truly used by people.
Derrida Presentation 1
Derrida was a French philosopher who was influential in the development of post-structuralism. He argued that speech is not fundamentally different than writing and that language refers only to other signs in an endless chain of signification. Through deconstruction, Derrida sought to reveal the contradictory and unstable nature of concepts like truth, meaning, and authorship. He was critical of logocentrism, or the privileging of speech over writing and presence over absence. For Derrida, there is no escaping interpretation and every text simultaneously reveals and conceals meaning.
Deconstruction
Post-structuralism reacted against the perceived authoritarianism of structuralism. It asserts that language is ambiguous and meanings change, so texts can contain contradictory meanings. Deconstructionists are interested in what lies beneath the surface of a text and the world's influence on a text. They believe meanings are actively created by readers rather than resolved, and inconsistencies may undermine dominant readings. Jacques Derrida introduced deconstruction and aimed to destabilize hierarchies in binary oppositions that privilege one term over another.
barthes class pres
Roland Barthes analyzed how images can be interpreted as signs or symbols that convey cultural meanings through semiotics, the study of sign systems. He argued that images do not simply depict objects but construct meanings in the same way that language and myths do. Barthes believed images could have linguistic, iconic/symbolic, and literal/denotative meanings. He also analyzed how myths take preexisting signs like images and language and reshape them to communicate new conceptual meanings while obscuring their original historical meanings. Barthes examined how images in advertising and media convey layered messages through their visual symbols and text.

The Iceberg Theory
The document discusses Hemingway's "Iceberg Theory" of omission in literary works. It examines his short stories "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" and "Hills Like White Elephants" as examples. "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" uses minimalism and omits details, forcing readers to infer meanings from a terse account. "Hills Like White Elephants" also omits the plot and uses setting and dialogue symbolism to imply an discussion of an abortion without explicitly stating it. Hemingway expected readers to understand through contextual clues and bring their own interpretations.
Barthes’ five narrative codes
Roland Barthes proposed five narrative codes that can be used to analyze and understand the meanings and interpretations of a text: 1) the hermeneutic code refers to mysteries or enigmas in a text that create intrigue; 2) the proairetic code contains sequential elements of action that add suspense; 3) the semantic code suggests additional connotative meanings; 4) the symbolic code uses symbolism and opposites to develop tension and meaning; 5) the referential code refers to external cultural, historical or scientific knowledge referenced in a text. These codes provide ways to unravel and derive multiple interpretations from a text.
Review of Roland Barthes's Camera Lucida
Roland Barthes' Camera Lucida provides concise reflections on photography informed by his interests in semiology, linguistics, and psychoanalysis. Barthes analyzes photographs based on the distinction between the "studium", the obvious meaning, and the "punctum", a unexpected detail that deeply affects the viewer. A key example is a photo of soldiers contrasted with passing nuns. Barthes uses photography to explore human existence and confront the inevitability of death, as seen in the ominous skull in Holbein's painting "The Ambassadors". For Barthes, the semiology of photography represents the function of mourning what cannot be regained, like his deceased mother.
MediaFilmExchange.co.uk Powerpoint
The document introduces several key theorists and concepts relating to narrative structure. It discusses Tzvetan Todorov's concept of narrative equilibrium, Vladimir Propp's identification of 31 character functions in folktales, Roland Barthes' hermeneutic code of narrative suspense, and Claude Levi-Strauss' theory of binary oppositions in narrative meaning and structure. The document uses examples from films like Run Lola Run, True Blood, and Magnolia to illustrate these concepts.
Barthes 5 narrative codes
Barthes identified 5 narrative codes that describe the meaning of a text: the hermeneutic/enigma code referring to mysteries, the proairetic/action code containing sequential elements of action, the semantic code referring to additional meanings suggested in the text, the symbolic code involving symbolism to create greater meaning, and the referential code referring to external knowledge. Texts can be either "open" with multiple interpretations or "closed" with a single obvious interpretation according to these codes.
Roland Barthes
Roland Barthes was a 20th century French philosopher known for his theories on structuralism, post-structuralism and semiotics. He developed theories related to narratives in films, television and other media. Barthes proposed that all narratives share structural features combined in different ways. His "Enigma Code" theory stated that any text portrays a mystery to engage audiences. Barthes also developed the concept of five codes that group signifiers by their role in a text: the hermeneutic code, proairetic code, semantic code, symbolic code and cultural code. These codes were meant to create "writerly texts" that bring out multiple meanings rather than presenting information in a straightforward, linear "readerly"

These "dead definitions" of concepts like nationality and ownership cause feelings of alienation. The document argues that Silko and Said try to transcend these dead definitions through emphasizing human experiences and relationships over rigid social constructs. It also discusses how Guy Debord analyzed how society has shifted to prioritizing economic productivity over true human history and community.
Visual Narratives Narratives Disturbed
The document discusses various concepts related to narrative theory, including binary oppositions, levels of narrative, and frames. It examines how some films by David Lynch seem to contradict common assumptions about causality, linearity, and character identity in narratives. The document also discusses the concepts of multiplicity, becoming, simulation, and rupturing narratives. It provides examples of artworks that demonstrate these concepts, challenging traditional understandings of narratives.
Week 5 semiotics presentation
The document discusses several theorists who contributed to the study of semiotics. It summarizes key ideas from Roland Barthes, including the concept of "the death of the author" which refers to the idea that the meaning of a text is shaped by readers rather than the original author. It also discusses Barthes' view that myths are systems that transform meaning into form through linguistic signs. The document also briefly summarizes concepts from Hakim Bey on "pirate utopias" and autonomy, and from Chere Blair on issues of authorship and plagiarism in a remix culture.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

- 5. Barthes understands bourgeois myths to conform generally to seven key figures These figures can be used as heuristics to interrogate cultural artifacts Mythical rhetoric
- 6. Neither/Norism: “Liberals or Conservatives: what’s the difference?”; the lose-lose proposition--leads to political cynicism The quantification of quality: the market determines all value Myth on the “right”: rhetorical figures typical of bourgeois ideology
- 7. The statement of fact: common sense; truisms; things are no more complex than they seem “Caesar fringe” on Marlon Brando “...it is both reprehensible and deceitful to confuse the sign with what is signified.” see “The Romans in Film”
- 8. Tautology: “because I said so”; “boys will be boys”; “I know it when I see it”; “just do it” “The accidental failure of language is magically identified with what one decides is a natural resistance of the object” (166).
- 9. Identification: otherness must be reduced to sameness The Family of Man Exhibit Museum of Modern Art 1955 There is only one man in the world and his name is All Men. There is only one woman in the world and her name is All Women. There is only one child in the world and the child's name is All Children. --Carl Sandburg at the entryway to the exhibit
- 10. The inoculation: “True freedom includes the freedom to fail.” Charity warns of homelessness risk “...admitting the accidental evil of a class- bound institution the better to conceal its principle evil” (164)
- 11. The privation of history: we know of no time when things were not as they are now “All one has to do is possess these beautiful new objects from which all soiling trace of origin or choice has been removed” (165).
- 12. Markers, Metasigns, and Styles Markedness is opposed to unmarkedness. It means that a given form is distinguishable from another on the basis of a special semiotic feature. A marked form, in other words, is simply one that stands out from the rest. Unmarked forms tend to be transparent--that is, you don’t notice them; they seem natural. Unmarked forms are the “default” position. Markedness is opposed to unmarkedness. It means that a given form is distinguishable from another on the basis of a special semiotic feature.

Unmarked forms are the “default” position.
- 13. Broad sets of markers that identify the same social group are called “metasigns.” They are frequently empty of referential content; they are used to create solidarity among those so marked and distance from those who aren’t. (“Style,” “accent,” and “grammar” all refer to the same phenomenon.)
