Roland Barthes' Mythologies | Literary Theory | Part 4
There are some useful short summaries of Roland Barthes' "Mythologies" online, but few in-depth explanations. This video is part 4 in a series on Barthes' classic text. Here we discuss how myth is a "second-order semiological system."

love the video explanations! Anyway you would be able to explain Flaubert's Bouvard and Pecuchet story Barthes touches on in the "Myth as Stolen Language" section of Mythology Today? It feels like hes trying to elucidate on Flaubert introducing new myths through past forms or maybe like the story is a mirror to society? Barthes uses the term "bouvard-and-pecuchet-ity" to describe what Flaubert did with the story; "the rhetoric of Bouvard and Pecuchet becomesthe form of the new system..." What in the world does it mean to be "bouvard-and-pecuchet-ity"?
