JOHN OSBORNE’S DRAMA "LOOK BACK IN ANGER" IN THE CONTEXT OF "MYTHOLOGY" BY ROLAND BARTHES
The poetics of J. J. Osborne's drama and semiotics research in R. Barthes’ interpretation is revealed in the topical problem of the “consumer society” displaying at the same time its deeper aspects, such as mind, consciousness, word. Both the work of art and the linguistic work are united by the common idea of regression of human freedom expressing it through socially relevant utopias and myths of contemporary culture. This problem is presented both by Osborne and Barthes as a relation between a human and the world, an individual personality and the society saturated with utopian values and mythological structures of modernity.
