Kennedy, and help us understand its impact in the context of ancient mythology. Herein lies the power of The Power of Myth, showing how humans are apt to create and live out the themes of mythology. Based on a six-part PBS television series hosted by Bill Moyers, this classic is especially compelling because of its engaging question- and-answer format, creating an easy, conversational approach to complicated and esoteric topics. For example, when discussing the mythology of heroes, Campbell and Moyers smoothly segue from the Sumerian sky goddess Inanna to Star Wars' mercenary-turned-hero, Han Solo. Most impressive is Campbell's encyclopedic knowledge of myths, demonstrated in his ability to recall the details and archetypes of almost any story, from any point and history, and translate it into a lesson for spiritual living in the here and now. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to an alternate edition. Review "The symbols of mythology and legend are all around us, embedded in the fabric of our daily lives, and the Moyers-Campbell dialogues are a welcom guide to recognizing and understanding their meanings." -- Cincinnati Post.

  • Mythic Structure Theory: Proposing a New Framework for the Study of Political Issues David L
    Mythic Structure Theory: Proposing a New Framework for the Study of Political Issues David L. Schecter California State University at Fresno This article develops the tenets of a new political theory evolved from the discovery that there are numerous frameworks to study political issues, such as abortion, but few over-arching theories. I propose and explore the tenets and hypotheses of a new “mythic structure theory.” Mythic structure theory draws from numerous examples in literature and anthropology and treats political issues as mythical stories, referencing heavily the works of James Joyce and Joseph Campbell. The essay concludes with the specific application of mythic structure theory to the issue of abortion and an argument is made as to why mythic structure theory yields insights into the abortion debate not offered by other theoretical frameworks. The application of this concept is recommended for the study of political issues such as abortion, civil rights, the environment, and education. The idea for this work grew out of several thoughts coalescing. In recognizing the seriousness and non-ending quality of the abortion debate, for example, it appears that none of the current theoretical frameworks sufficiently explains the magnitude and complexity of the topic. In a normative sense, what is the best way to study this issue? Do the religious, legalistic, or public policy frameworks so prevalent in the literature reasonably explain the issue? What is the best way to navigate political topics in which there are numerous contested beliefs and assumptions? A “war” metaphor is often used to describe the debates over abortion, but this is too rigid to capture the nuances of the debate.

  • Discussion Questions for the Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers
    Discussion Questions for The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers 1. Campbell defines myth in various ways in the book, including: a. A way to experience life b. A clue to the spiritual potential of human beings c. The song of the imagination d. The reconciliation of the conditions of life, that is, that life is about the killing of other organisms e. The one grand story of humankind f. Myth affirms that there is an invisible plane which supports the visible plane g. Myth teaches us when to let go h. A fairy tale is a child’s myth Do you agree with Campbell’s various definitions of myth? Do you have a different definition of myth? Is there one definition that seems more apt than others? 2. Campbell claims that there are two different kinds of myths: a. A portion that relates to nature and man’s place in nature b. A portion that is sociological, that is, how men fit into their society Do you agree with Campbell that there are two types of myth? Are there other types of myths? Are there myths which do not fit into one of these two categories; if so, which ones? 3. The hero, according to Campbell is a: a. Person who faces trial and tribulations as a result of bringing new possibilities into the field of interpreted experience b. Lives in the field of time and must make decisions about good and evil c. An artist who helps develop and communicate myths today (he cites James Joyce as an artist who develops modern myths) d.

  • The Stages of the Hero's Journey All Stories Consist of Common Structural Elements of Stages Found Universally in Myths, Fairy Tales, Dreams, and Movies
    Excepts from Myth and the Movies, Stuart Voytilla1 Foreword By Christopher Vogler … Among students of myth like Carl Jung, Mircea Eliade, Theodore Gaster, and Heinrich Zimmer, the work of a man named Joseph Campbell has particular relevance for our quest. He hammered out a mighty link of the chain, a set of observations known as The Hero’s Journey. In books like The Hero with a Thousand Faces, The Power of Myth, and The Inner Reaches of Outer Space, Campbell reported on the synthesis he found while comparing the myths and legends of many cultures. The Hero’s Journey was his all-embracing metaphor for the deep inner journey of transformation that heroes in every time and place seem to share, a path that leads them through great movements of separation, descent, ordeal, and return. In reaction to Campbell’s work, a man named George Lucas composed what many have called a myth for our times - the Star War series, in which young heroes of a highly technological civilization confront the same demons, trials, and wonders as the heroes of old. ... The Stages of the Hero's Journey All stories consist of common structural elements of Stages found universally in myths, fairy tales, dreams, and movies. These twelve Stages compose the Hero's Journey. What follows is a simple overview of each Stage, illustrating basic characteristics and functions. Use it as a quick-reference guide as you explore the genre and movie analyses. Since it cannot provide all of Christopher Vogler's insights upon which it was based, I recommend you refer to his book, The Writer's Journey, for a much more thorough evaluation.

And the darkness gathered thick in places crowding together, and then separating, crowding, and separating. Moyers: And the spirit of God [00:01:00] was moving over the face of the waters and God said let there be light. Joseph Campbell: This is from the Hindu Upanishad.

Well, you see, this thing communicates. Refresh and try again. His answer is that we create our own meaning in the world. Joseph Campbell. If you want to get to know Campbell's ideas, there are better works - especially "Hero with a Thousand Faces" and the four-volume "Masks of God" - to read, but this series of interviews, which one can also watch on video, remains a good introduction to his worldview and approach, and had a big impact on me when I first encountered it in my 20s.

  • 33 JODEM, Vol. 11, No. 1, Issue 13, 2020 Idealization of Gandhian
    JODEM, vol. 11, no. 1, issue 13, 2020 33 Idealization of Gandhian Myths in Bapu Sonnets: Devkota’s Romantic Perspective* Bam Dev Adhikari Associate Professor of English Tri-Chandra Multiple Campus, Kathmandu [email protected] Abstract Bapu sonnets were composed by great Nepali poet Laxmi Prasad Devkota just after the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi in India. Mahatma Gandhi used to be called „Bapu‟ by the commoners of India and these 38 sonnets written on him are supreme examples in terms of the form of the sonnet; but in terms of the content, the sonnets romanticize Gandhi and his contribution to India and Indian people. Written in the heydays of Mahatma Gandhi‟s popularity, the sonnets admire Mahatma Gandhi and deify him as a hero of Indian people. Mahatma Gandhi did play a great role in liberating India from British Raj but his role was controversial even in the Independence Movement of India and he became a more controversial figure in the subsequent years of his death. When these sonnets are read at the touchstone of how Gandhi is regarded today, they oversell Gandhi‟s contribution, for he was blamed as caste-biased, religion- biased, gender-biased and class-biased person. In this article, I am making an argument that the sonnets make overstatement about Gandhi and praise him excessively. Keywords: Admiration, commemoration, deification, controversy, romanticize Bapu Sonnets as Commemoration of Gandhi’s Life and Works Nepal‘s Great Poet Laxmi Prasad Devkota, known as Mahakavi (1909-1959) wrote 38 sonnets on Mahatma Gandhi and these sonnets got published entitled Bapu and Other Sonnets.

[The modern myth] has to do with machines, airshots, the size of the universe, it’s got to deal with what we’re living with. Star Wars deals with the essential problem: Is the machine going to control humanity, or is the machine going to serve humanity? Darth Vader is a man taken over by a machine, he becomes a machine, and the state itself is a machine. There is no humanity in the state. What runs the world is economics and politics, and they have nothing to do with the spiritual life. So we are left with this void. It’s the job of the artist to create the new myths.

  • One Face of the Hero: in Search of the Mythological Joseph Smith
    One Face of the Hero: In Search of the Mythological Joseph Smith Edgar C. Snow, Jr. IN THE SPRING OF 19851 RECEIVED a telephone call from my local stake high councilor requesting that I give a talk to the Stake Aaronic Priesthood around a campfire at an annual stake camping trip. He wanted me to talk about Joseph Smith or the restoration of the priesthood. I accepted. At the time I was reading Richard Bushman's Joseph Smith and the Beginnings of Mormonism with great interest and a heightened sense of the adventure of the Smith family in bringing forth the Book of Mormon. I soon discovered that a campfire surrounded by twelve-to-eighteen- year-old boys was not the place for profound statements about the doc- trines of the priesthood or the achievements of Joseph Smith. Rather I realized that adventure stories from Joseph's life held the attention of these young men in the midst of hooting owls, a blazing fire, and thoughts of nighttime escapades. While standing in front of a crackling fire, I told many tales, includ- ing the discovery of the golden plates, the escape from Liberty Jail, and the shootout at the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum. To my amazement these stories became magical spells holding the gaze of all present. I felt somehow during this ritual of storytelling that we became one organism much the same way a congregation may feel spiritual oneness during a church conference while standing in unison singing "We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet." Instead of producing a "near-death experience" for the Stake Aaronic Priesthood, youth as well as their leaders, by talking theology, a "near-life experience" occurred when I told stories.
