  • The World of Wrestling - Roland Barthes
    Mar 24 2021

    A full reading of Roland Barthes' essay 'The World of Wrestling' from his 1957 book, Mythologies. In it, he performs a semiotic analysis of the performance of all-in wrestling in France in the 1950s.

    This podcast is NOT monetized, and the essay is read verbatim for the purpose of public discourse. Wrestling is for the people, therefore this essay is for the people - Roland Barthes would oblige.
