 myth today   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In his essay "Myth Today," the semiologist Roland Barthes presents his view of myth as a "second-order semiological system." What Barthes intends by this conception of mythology is an intermingling of the signifier and signified, or form and meaning, into a "mode of signification" -- myth.
Barthes argued that "since myth is a type of speech, everything can be a myth provided it is conveyed by a discourse.
Myth is seen as the appropriation of an historical image that survives in gesture as a mode of signification, rather than as a shared memory.

In “Prodige,” that love is the thematic heart of the play, symbolized by the piano that Huston studied as a girl and that unites the three generations of women on stage.
As to her motherland — which the author left in 1973 for France, first as part of Sarah Lawrence University’s study abroad program and later researching under the semiologist Roland Barthes — Huston remains firmly attached to Canada.
True to form, the same woman who writes how she longs to burst out at stuffy Parisian literary cocktails with a rousing “Yip-yip-yippee!” from her cowgirl youth in Calgary appears in “Prodige” as the straight-talking Sophia, whose rich brocaded clothes reminiscent of the homeland emphasize her imaginative proximity to the country she left behind.

Most literary tastes and influences have their defining moments; one of my own came about four years ago when I read Italo Calvino's novel "If on a winter's night a traveller".
It is a strange little book but it has its devotees amongst admirers of postmodern literature (which include, perhaps predictably, the semiologist Umberto Eco).
It is a fiction about fictions; the main subject of the novel is in fact, The Novel; those who read it, create it, analyse it are the story's main characters.

 A Structuralist Approach to Television Criticism.   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The use of temporal structure also helps build a web of connections that enlarges and complicates characters and allows for sustained thematic treatment.
Given the current linguistic bias in semiotics, such considerations of television's aesthetic structure would most likely slip through the semiologist's analytic net.
Structuralism as a methodological tool, therefore, must be rescued from the semiologists if it is going to be useful in television criticism.
