Teorije mitologije

by Eric Csapo

Studija Teorije mitologije upoznaje istraživače sa istorijom teorija o mitu, ali je u isto vreme i vodič kroz različita tumačenja mita. Knjiga donosi kritički uvod u vodeće teorije mita od 19. veka do danas, uključujući komparativistički pristup, psihoanalizu, teorije rituala, strukturalizam i ideološku analizu. Jasan i pristupačan prikaz, koji uključuje portrete utemeljivača teorija mitologije i njihovog naučnog, intelektualnog i društvenog miljea, kombinovan je sa objašnjavanjem pretpostavki, ciljeva, karakterističnih postupaka i različitih mogućnosti koje otvaraju iznete metode. Ilustrovana odabranim odlomcima iz poznatih mitova, knjiga pruža čitaocima teorijska oruđa za razumevanje svake od iznetih metoda.

holy moly Csapo is zo een baddie. Soms is die wel eeen beetje langdradig maar dat vind ik nie super slecht voor een collegeboek. Hij is zo cunty met subtitels als "how to be dumb and influence people" en gwn de hardste kritiek op mensen en hun stupid ideeën is echt prachtig refreshing na 30 pagina's aan bv Freud lezen
Loef het

Notes for me:

I've read several chapters of this work for my university studies. I am shelving it because I want to read the book in its entirety at some point and so need to remember the title/author.

It's a good primer but the material doesn't really interest me.

[Maaike · Rating 2 out of 5]

The book was fine, it's just that the subject is really dry and theoretical. This made it hard to get through. Would definitely not read it if it wasn't required for the subject.

This was a good survey of the various approaches to the study of mythology. We had an excellent discussion on it in the seminar.

The only problem with this book is that it is insufferably dull.
