Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Dans Mythologies, Roland Barthes nous donne un extraordinaire ouvrage, profond et cruel, rigoureux, parfois excessivement, d'une écriture à la fois géométrique et pleine d'humour, où l'homme moderne nous est implacablement envoyé, comme un pantin trop bien articulé. " Jean Lacroix, Le Monde " On sort changé de la lecture d'un livre comme celui-là, et je gage que la pensée et le style de Barthes auront une influence considérable sur les jeunes écrivains de notre temps. " Guy Dumur, Médecine de France " J'admire l'intelligence avec laquelle Barthes renverse la toile peinte de ce siècle et discerne, sous les apparences, les réalités. " Morvan Lebesque, Le Canard enchaîné " On le lit avec passion et dans le sentiment à peu près constant de la découverte. " Maurice Nadeau, France-Observateur " Ce livre courageux, essentiel, extraordinairement intelligent, me semble devoir marquer profondément son sillon dans l'histoire de la pensée moderne.

Download or read book R criture Des Mythes written by Joëlle Cauville and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 1997 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Definir de facon univalente la notion de mythe et celle d'utopie semble en soi une entreprise tout a fait utopique. Par ailleurs, jumeler les deux notions, celle du mythe et celle d'utopie, releve d'un processus de reflexion qui peut facilement etre a double tranchant: le mythe, construction par excellende de l'imaginaire humain, ne se situe-t-il pas ailleurs que dans un non-lieu? et l'utopie, quant a elle, ne fait-elle pas echo au mythe, a la fois s'en inspirant, le niant et le transformant? Redondance possible, et aussi, parfois, refus des deux domaines a admettre leur interdependance, cheninement parallele surtout et creation commune de ce qui, en fin de compte, s'avere mythe transforme, utopie revistee. Toutefois, mythes et utopies quels que soient la position choisie, le point de vue defendu, semblent faire bon menage, a en juger par ce projet, mavec dix-neuf textes couvrant principalement la litterature contemporaine des femmes, mais puisant parfois aux uvres anterieures qui ont deja prepare le terrain, en offrant des visions d'existences idylliques ne serait-ce que litteraires."

All are told at length and are accompanied by illuminating and readable introductory text.

Download or read book Theorizing Myth written by Bruce Lincoln and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Theorizing Myth, Bruce Lincoln traces the way scholars and others have used the category of "myth" to fetishize or deride certain kinds of stories, usually those told by others. He begins by showing that mythos yielded to logos not as part of a (mythic) "Greek miracle," but as part of struggles over political, linguistic, and epistemological authority occasioned by expanded use of writing and the practice of Athenian democracy. Lincoln then turns his attention to the period when myth was recuperated as a privileged type of narrative, a process he locates in the political and cultural ferment of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Here, he connects renewed enthusiasm for myth to the nexus of Romanticism, nationalism, and Aryan triumphalism, particularly the quest for a language and set of stories on which nation-states could be founded. In the final section of this wide-ranging book, Lincoln advocates a fresh approach to the study of myth, providing varied case studies to support his view of myth—and scholarship on myth—as ideology in narrative form.
