Myths in Crisis

Resumen del Libro

Libro Myths in Crisis

This trilingual volume examines the extent to which myths are affected by the crises of the 20th and 21st centuries. It brings together four theoretical studies which analyse both the crisis of structure – implying the distortion or disappearance of myth – and the crisis of concepts and terminology that currently threaten the study of mythology. The largest section of the volume focuses on the crises that have affected ancient, medieval and modern literary myths from a global perspective, taking into account psychology, ethics, politics and contemporary meta-literature. The final section examines the crisis experienced by those myths which permeate the material world, investigating historical and fictitious characters, mythologized places, and languages. The volume is a remarkable collection of 30 texts that were selected from 300 proposals by prestigious researchers from over 30 countries during the 3rd International Conference of Myth Criticism held in Madrid in October 2014.

"As much as in other countries, there is a bildungsroman novel in Spanish America like the ones of Güiraldes, Vargas Llosa, and Pacheco. However, less studied is the same genre of novel written by women. Examines growing pains and search for freedom in a patriarchal society in the works of Elena Poniatowska, Rosario Castellanos, Claribel Alegría, Rosario Ferré, and Beatriz Guido.

Este volumen analiza la vida y obra de Thomas Merton a partir de la relación entre los conceptos de soledad y sociedad desde una memoria iluminada. Se establecen correspondencias entre aspectos cruciales que se abordan dentro de las categorías amplias de soledad y sociedad desde la perspectiva de los estudios norteamericanos. La estructura monástica sería transformada en un proceso religioso dinámico, al igual que un tiempo de silencio habría de acompañar una necesidad de anunciar las buenas noticias halladas en el corazón de la contemplación y de denunciar los males de su tiempo.
