A series of essays "Mythology" is a brilliant analysis of mass culture as a sign system. The author semiotically explains the mechanism of the emergence of political myths as the transformation of history into an ideology, provided that this process is signified. In the generalizing part of the work, the article "Myth Today", both an explanation and a method of opposing modern mythologization are proposed - the creation of a new artificial myth, the construction of a conditional, third level of mythology, if the first is understood as archaic-traditional, the second - "new" (as a scientific class e.g. Soviet). In the studies of R. Barth, the leading definition of myth is the word. Everything that is covered by discourse can become a myth, since "our world is infinitely suggestive." Myth, according to Barth, is a marking qualitative characteristic of the "anonymous" modern bourgeois society, while mythologization is considered as a sign of all societies.
