BARTHES
Barthes revelled in popular culture, analysing anything and everything from wrestling to horoscopes, from car adverts to political news, and, contrary to received academic opinion in the 1950s.
Barthes also suggested that mass media forms affected a deep ideological presence whose scope and influence far outstripped the reach of other cultural forms.
