“Cultures produce myths because they satisfy a deep-rooted human need: the need to make sense of life. Myths are appealing because they reduce the complexity of experience, by making things seem simple and absolute; myths define popular realities which are accepted readily, even uncritically.”
Matthew Screech

Roland Barthes
“La notoriété est la première forme de la naturalisation.”
Roland Barthes
