Abstract

Why has the myth of Pygmalion and his ivory statue proved so inspirational for writers, artists, philosophers, scientists, and directors and creators of films and television series? The 'authorised' version of the story appears in the epic poem of transformations, Metamorphoses, by the first-century CE Latin poet Ovid; in which the bard Orpheus narrates the legend of the sculptor king of Cyprus whose beautiful carved woman was brought to life by the goddess Venus. Focusing on screen storylines with a Pygmalion subtext, from silent cinema to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Lars and the Real Girl, this book looks at why and how the made-over or manufactured woman has survived through the centuries and what we can learn about this problematic model of 'perfection' from the perspective of the past and the present. Given the myriad representations of Ovid's myth, can we really make a modern text a tool of interpretation for an ancient poem? This book answers with a resounding 'yes' and explains why it is so important to give antiquity back its future

Abstract

De crisis in het hedendaagse denken leidt in toenemende mate tot breuk en disharmonie in de mens en zijn relatie tot de wereld. Met het denken in symbolen tracht de auteur de uiteengevallen werkelijkheid te herstellen. Vanuit het mythische verleden kan de hedendaagse mens de voorontwerpen ontdekken die verwijzen naar het heden. &#13;&#13;Symbolen keren in elk tijdperk terug. Vergelijking tussen verschillende culturen leert dat in het leven een constante geestelijke kern aanwezig is. Door dit te onderkennen, ontstaat een wijze van zien en kennen, waardoor tegenstellingen als geest en materie, hemel en aarde, licht en duisternis en soortgelijke antagonismen vervagen. &#13;&#13;Op zoek naar de realisering van zijn bestaan zijn het de symbolen die de mens de sleutel aanreiken tot zelfkennis. Hierdoor leert hij tijdens zijn levensreis het leven zelf beter begrijpen. Met dit boek richt de auteur zich tot allen die belang stellen in de symboliek en zich willen bezinnen op de waarde van de mens en zijn wereld.&#13;&#13;

Abstract

Fascinating and terrifying, the Medusa story has long been a powerful signifier in culture with poets, feminists, anthropologists, psychoanalysts, political theorists, artists, writers, and others. Bringing together the essential passages and commentary about Medusa, The Medusa Reader traces her through the ages, from classical times through the Renaissance to the pop culture, art, and fashion of today. This collection, with a critical introduction and striking illustrations, is the first major anthology of primary material and critical commentary on this most provocative and enigmatic of figures.
