Description or summary of the audiobook: In his consideration of the language of the fashion magazine-the structural analysis of descriptions of women's clothing by writers about fashion-Barthes gives us a brief history of semiology. At the same time, he identifies economics as the underlying reason for the luxuriant prose of the fashion magazine: 'Calculating, industrial society is obliged to form consumers who don't calculate; if clothing's producers and consumers had the same consciousness, clothing would be bought (and produced) only at the very slow rate of its dilapidation.'
