The chapters in the book "Mythical Rhetoric" can be said to be relatively independent of each other. Therefore, in this reading meeting, everyone who comes to participate will actively select or randomly select a section to read with other members. After reading any section, any relevant associations, inspirations, and methodological summaries that drive practice can be shared with others at any time. In the end, we hope that everyone in the field that day can create something interesting together.
What we want to say
Roland Barthes regards myth as a kind of rhetoric, a way of describing the world, and strives to expose the shadow that myth, a rhetorical method, has on human beings. We want to watch the interpretation of myths as myth makers, and after waking up, actively fall into the mixed state of "nature" and "man-made history" to construct our own myth narrative system.
Introduction to "Mythical Rhetoric" (source: Douban)
"Mythologist" Roland Barthes deciphered various myths in daily life in "The Rhetoric of Myth" and explored the reconciling of reality and human beings, description and interpretation, objects and knowledge. He tries to convey to the reader that we are constantly navigating between the object and demystifying it, without the ability to restore the whole picture: because if we enter the object, we liberate it but destroy it; if we let it go, we respect it but also mystify it.
