says later published as “Mythologi” is to take a brief glance at the myth of the supposedly nt fluence of French theory on Amerin tellectual life. “He’d met Roland Barth, at a dner party, and been nverted, over ssoulet, to the new fah,” go a le about a Brown semtics profsor Jefey Eugenis’s recent novel, “The Marriage Plot.” It’s a sentence that both scrib and reënacts the myster procs by which an sayist and lerary cric who would have “terrogated” that dish of duck fat, beans, and ssage, mandg to know what thought was dog at his dner party, somehow me to be seen as jt another aspect of the stereotypil Frenchns he’d set out to unmask as a reprsive d.</p><div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--article-mid-ntent" role="prentatn"

who reads Barth on the myth of steak , or the recip neteen-fifti <em>Elle</em> magaz—“A peasant dish is admted only on ocsn as the stic whim of blasé cy folk”—will immediately unrstand that the Amerin profsor is one more dupe of a nsumer mentaly that leads to haplsly nfe our gastronomic, relig, and tellectual experienc of other cultur. An tert the wrg of a gay profsor of rhetoric, born to a prottant fay on France’s Atlantic seaboard, ought not to be nflated wh a taste for Provençal okg; neher should the lure of French theory be assiated to the grand tourist’s reverence for the mysteri of Notre Dame or Chartr. That is to say, ’s a good thg we still have Barth to help unrstand what’s always at risk of happeng to wrers like Barth.</p><p class="paywall">A <a data-offer-url=" class="external-lk" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLk","outgogURL":"" href=" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">new, unabridged edn of “Mythologi,”</a> translated by Richard Howard and Ante Lavers, provis addnal antidot to another stereotype about so-lled French theorists. Ante Lavers’s 1970 translatn clud only twenty-eight of Barth’s origal fifty-three short says, most no longer than two pag, but the entirety of his afterword, “Myth Today.” (In the longer say, he explas how the verage of royal weddgs, sensatnal crim, jet pilots, and famo wrers photographed “on vatn,” set alongsi advertisements for cleang products and food, nstuted a language wh l as dified as those of the classil French theatre he’d studied.) The rat of theory to practice the origal edn uld give the imprsn that Barth was tryg to erect a rigoro social science of semlogil analysis on the rather gzy foundatn of a few photographs, articl, and advertisements that he’d arbrarily selected om <em>Paris Match</em> and <em>L’Exprs</em>.</p><p class="paywall">In fact, “Mythologi” began as a speci of cultural journalism, of which certa blogs (Pl Kgman’s, for example) might be the clost ntemporary analogue. Begng 1954, Barth had been asked to wre a monthly or bimonthly lumn for the Paris lerary magaze <em>Lettr Nouvell</em>, which he did, dutifully, for two years. His attempt to synthize the piec to a larger statement of methodology me later, as Barth reread his own closely observed and documented associatns. The myth—current sce Edmund Burke nounced the Declaratn of the Rights of Man—of French tellectuals bld by their own theori, implicly ntrasted wh the more empiril and procs-driven Anglo-Amerin md, th b the dt, as Barth himself hoped would.</p><p class="paywall">“Mythologi,” like Kgman’s blog, also n be read as a kd of chronicle. Barth ed his platform at the magaze, part, as a way of trackg his tratns wh social and polil landspe of France om 1954 to 1956: a time of creasg middle-class prospery, cidg wh France’s stggle to hold onto s loni North Ai and Southeast Asia, and DeGlle’s attempts to rtore some kd of natnal pri the aftermath of the Send World War. Most worrygly for Barth, the were years that also saw the rise of an explicly anti-tellectual, racist, and populist polil party—the forenner of today’s Front Natnal—head by a former French Air Force pilot, gby player, and gym teacher, Pierre Pouja.</p><div class="Contaer-bkChBi byNLHx"></div><p class="paywall">Barth tects elements of <em>Poujadisme</em> the prs’s fondns for ttologi (“bs is bs,” “Race is Race”); the cult of jet pilots (“the jet man is fed ls by his urage than by his weight, his diet, and his habs (temperance, ugaly, ntence)”); and a brief vogue for the hypnotic spectacle of mass Amerin evangelil “csas” (“If God is really speakg through Dr. Graham’s mouth, mt be acknowledged that God is que stupid,” he wr of Billy Graham’s appearance at the Vélodrome D’Hiver, where, thirteen years earlier, thoands of Paris’s Jews had been herd prr to their portatn to Achwz). Barth uld be sthg, or sometim jt tty—and much of the pleasure of readg “Mythologi” om s archly posed anger—but his tentn often seems ls to plore than to unrstand the habs of md that led his untrypeople to rise, open-mouthed, to such ba.</p><p class="paywall">The urge to succumb to the mythic appeal of morn products, cludg policians and celebri, as well as to the stori we e to associate wh them, affected Barth. It tak a certa unabashed enthiasm to beg an say on r sign “I believe the tomobile is, today, the almost exact equivalent of the great Gothic thedrals,” even as he nclus psimistilly that the to dtry has fallen prey to “pet bourgeois annexatn.” His piece on “profsnal” wrtlg—“ is no more ignoble to watch a wrtled performance of Sufferg than the sorrows of Arnulphe or Andromaque”—was a direct fluence on Sontag’s “Not on Camp,” and pretty much every subsequent, ser exaltatn of low or popular arts and culture. When Barth wr of the “impassive anonymo” hero or bastard of the rg, leavg wh a gym bag and his wife on his arm, like a prit packg up after Mass, he tablish a particular tone of genue fascatn that mak see the spectacle and s actors a new way—through style—and also remds that the word “theory” really jt means a way of seeg thgs.</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layout__asi"><asi class="PersistentAsiWrapper-VGrR daRVRt persistent-asi" style="posn:absolute;top:to;height:to" data-ttid="PersistentAsiWrapper"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB jxBcTH sticky-box"><div class="StickyBoxPrimary-dzWDWL cdhYoN sticky-box__primary"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--rail"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--rail" data-no-id="3h6tu"></div></div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--display-rail" role="prentatn" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-un__slot nsumer-marketg-un__slot--display-rail"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></div><div class="StickyBoxPlaceholr-grPmrg dxAvXx"></div></div></asi></div></div><div class="RowWrapper-UmqTg HEhan full-bleed-ad row-mid-ntent-ad"><div class="StickyMidContentAdWrapper-fSBzwl drzyIa ad-stickymidntent"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--mid-ntent should-hold-space"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--mid-ntent" data-no-id="bu8l1"></div></div></div></div><div class="GridWrapper-cAzTTK kHBDeH grid grid-margs grid-ems-2 ArticlePageChunksGrid-hfxa bjczjj grid-layout--adrail narrow wi-adrail"><div class="GridItem-buujkM stRKV grid--em grid-layout__ntent"><div class="BodyWrapper-kufPGa EOneK body body__ntaer article__body" data-journey-hook="client-ntent" data-ttid="BodyWrapper"><div class="body__ner-ntaer"><p class="paywall">Contemporary rears will also tect a ht— says like those on Croens and the marketg of margare through an early versn of the “I n’t believe ’s not butter” mpaign—of the current practice of “semtic brand analysis,” when pani hire telligent people, ually wh an unrgraduate background the class Eugenis mak fun of, to expla to them how to crease the appeal of their own brands. Barth may not have looked favorably on what he lled “the domtitn” of the tomobile, but when he not how “the dashboard looks more like the worktable of a morn kchen than a factory ntrol room,” he was articulatg a change that ma rs more acceptable to women and fai, of which the Croen signers themselv may have been only dimly aware.</p><p class="paywall">The legacy of “Mythologi” falls short of the plete smashg of signs, the “semclasm” Barth wished for his 1970 preface—neher he nor anyone else has solved the problem of why certa basic human longgs for eedom, or hero, or cleanls attach themselv so easily to travel guis, bicycle rac, plastics, and lndry tergent. And he probably uld not have anticipated how pletely the very stments of his analysis uld then be adapted to sell even more of those thgs, pecially Europe’s former lonial domas.
