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.

In her view, Bombal's work is rather a narrative that arises in the poetic imagination of a narrator who creates a tapestry of expanding musical and pictorial...

Libro Más allá de la frontera: Cinco voces para Europa

Más allá de la frontera: cinco voces para Europa trata de dos autoras y tres autores (Agota Kristof, Irena Brežná, François Cheng, Heinrich Mann y Jorge Semprún) que se han desplazado y han escrito en el espacio de llegada y acogida. Y, entre sus muchas aportaciones, ofrece una de las claves para entender la literatura europea contemporánea y también para entender la Europa actual y el mundo actual. La literatura europea como proyecto tiene en el mestizaje lingüístico, en los cruces de lenguas y culturas, un componente cada vez más importante, que no puede separarse de la idea y de ...

New drugs, saints with beatified roosters, murderers of one night and of one life, communards with "machetes" and teachers surrounding the foreigner murdered in Oaxaca, a town of kidnappers and three missing towns, the television that presents circus phenomena, the fantasies of the national porn, the corpses of too...
