Even if I consider #LeviStrauss to be the only structuralist & many others would consider #Foucault, #Lacan and #Barthes post-structuralists, we can maybe all agree on the fact that how Henry has portrayed the four men here (in 1967) is brilliant and captures their characters very well #anthropology

✨ An Updated Barthes

Taylor Swift isn’t just a singer.
She’s the Showgirl who shows the Girl.

Her Eras, her branding, her billions—each is myth made marketable.
She is both the product and the critique.

My latest essay explores pop, performance, Jesus, capitalism, and the impossibility of the “ethical billionaire.”

📣 New Essay Just Dropped

"Side Effects May Include Myth"
A meditation on trust, advertising, psychiatric meds, and what Roland Barthes might say about the voice inside the box.

I wrote it after a stay in a crisis center. It's raw, reflective, and a little angry.

Featuring:
💊 Pharma ads
🧠 Informed consent
📺 Media myth-making
🧼 Barthes on soap
🎨 Original art

🦬 Barthes got it right. Steak isn’t just food — it’s a symbol.

How you order it says everything: blue-rare like bloodied prestige, or well-done like working-class caution. I see it behind the bar every night.

Barthes saw it in France. I see it in America.

Might write a full essay if folks are hungry for more.

"The impact of these ideas in the US, though considerable, was mostly concentrated in literature departments. Jameson argues that “theory was always a revolt against disciplines”. While that might have been true in France in the 1960s, where the whole gamut of the sciences humaines fell to the structuralists, it wasn’t true in the US in the following two decades.

“The American interest in these people,” Jameson adds, “was certainly part of a ’60s passion for new thinking which had to do with politics as much as anything else.” But, you might ask, what kind of politics? As Todd Gitlin, a leftwing sceptic of the politics of theory, observed mordantly at the time: “While the right has been busy taking the White House, the left has been marching on the English department.”"

Being #Barthes , he casually drops in the word #doxa as though it had some clear meaning. (This is still The Pleasure of the Text.)

I suppose he means it in the mild sense of "opinion", of something believed but falling short of knowledge, as he says

«le temps de la doxa, de l'opinion, et celui de la paradoxa, de la contestation. Un troisième terme manque, autre que le plaisir et sa censure».

and here he's being cute with "doxa" vs "paradoxa", comfortable opinion vs disturbing paradox, calm pleasure vs chaotic bliss.

But still one can't entirely ignore the way translators of the bible translated the Hebrew word kavod (כבוד) for God's Glory into the Greek doxa (δόξα) for reasons probably lost to time.

So in referring to the comforting pleasure of opinion, is he reminding us that even the Glory of God is from many angles (angels?) just another part of the Opiate of the Masses?
