Abstract

O texto retoma as reflexões acerca do mito apresentadas em Mitologias por Roland Barthes, articulando-as com o momento político atual, sobretudo no que diz respeito à utilização política do mito e à falta de uma crítica atual às novas manifestações de opressão veículadas pelos mitos forjados na contemporaneidade.
