Abstract

O autor deste volume percorre um itinerário reflexivo sobre as experiências do tempo vivido e do agir humano, representáveis e representados no mythos narrativo. Serviu de suporte a esse itinerário o diálogo hermenêutico entre Paul Ricoeur (Temps et Récit) e Aristóteles (Poética), tendo Ricoeur partido das aporias da meditação agostiniana sobre o tempo. O presente estudo divide-se em três capítulos, sendo o primeiro dedicado ao tempo, onde é tratada a especificidade da meditação de Agostinho de Hipona e a sua relação de proximidade ou de contraste com Platão, Aristóteles e Plotino. Registe-se a análise dos binómios tempo/eternidade, bem como distentio/intentio animi. O segundo capítulo centra-se no eixo mimesis-mythos-katharsis em Aristóteles, onde a hermenêutica do texto aristotélico conduz ao cerne do poder representativo de mythos, tendo, por um lado, como horizonte dessa representação narrativa de caracteres em ação o pensamento ético, e considerando, por outro lado, a capacidade cognitiva e de reconhecimento do espetador, a partir da sua própria experiência temporal. O capítulo III retoma os pontos de conclusão do texto anterior, para refletir, com Paul Ricoeur, sobre os três momentos implicados na criação e representação do mythos: o da mimese criadora, o da mimese em representação, o da mimese apropriadora, concluindo com a natureza de metagénero do mythos-narrativa. É manifesta, ao longo da obra, a segurança do seu autor na interpretação e interrelação de textos, assim como o bom conhecimento dos autores em causa, gregos, latinos e modernos, a que teve acesso nas suas línguas originais. Manifesto é, também, o domínio dos suportes de investigação necessários. Ao elevado nível de maturidade intelectual e de capacidade especulativa corresponde uma linguagem fluente, precisa e desenvolta. Assim, este trabalho, decorrente de uma dissertação de Mestrado em Poética e Hermenêutica, elaborado num chão consistente de concatenação interdisciplinar entre Estudos Clássicos e Filosofia, pelo seu óbvio grau de originalidade e pelo objeto da sua investigação, muito aproveitará, decerto, a estudiosos de Teoria Literária, Poética e Hermenêutica Filosófica.

Abstract

Varner brings together a medley of stories, myths, and folklore, sharing a fascination and respect for humankind's early and contemporary cultures and wondering at similarities across the board. Here, he focuses on ""Little People"" and giants, animals and were-creatures, and the odd, helpful or threatening ways imputed to our earthly companions including dogs and cats, bats and spiders, and the stories people have told each other about them since time immemorial.

Abstract

In ancient myths, the sky is a numinous space. What comes from it is of outstanding importance. This transdisciplinary volume by the Collegium Mythologicum explores myths that involve transfers from the sky. The volume utilizes the hylistics established by Christian Zgoll to combine and compare its findings. Ultimately, transfers from the sky prove to be indicators of numinosity in mythical garb.--provided by publisher. In antiken Mythen ist der Himmel nicht nur ein kosmischer, sondern vor allem ein numinoser Raum. Was von dort kommt, besitzt herausragende Bedeutung. Der vom Collegium Mythologicum vorgelegte transdisziplinäre Band erforscht mythische Stoffe, die in antiken Kulturen des Mittelmeers und des Vorderen Orients von diesem Transfer berichten. Auf Basis einer neu etablierten Erzählstoff-Forschung (Hylistik) werden die Befunde der einzelnen Beiträge systematisch zusammengeführt und verglichen. Hierdurch erschließt der Band ein reiches Spektrum an Mythen unterschiedlicher Kulturen in Form von Einzelstudien, Überblicksbeiträgen und weiterführenden Auswertungen. Behandelt werden u. a. das Herabbringen des ersten Tempels durch die mesopotamische Göttin Innana, der Feuerraub des Prometheus, der Transfer des Zauberbuchs des ägyptischen Gottes Thot, der Sturz der Krankheitsdämonin Lamastu sowie Jupiters Gabe des Unterpfands der römischen Weltherrschaft. Im Ergebnis erweisen sich die Transfers vom Himmel herab als kognitiv-strukturierend, legitimierend und affektiv-stabilisierend und letztendlich als wichtige mythisch-narrative Beschreibungen für Numinosität.

Abstract

From the stories suggested by the great cave paintings of the Paleolithic period to the thought experiments of modern scientists, 'From Olympus to Camelot' provides a sweeping history of the development of the rich and varied European mythological tradition. David Leeming, an authority on world mythology, begins with a general introduction to mythology and mythological terms, and then turns to the stories themselves. Discussing well-known figures such as Zeus, Aphrodite, Thor, and Cuchulainn, and less familiar ones such as Perun, Mari, and the Sorcerer of Lescaux, Leeming illustrates and analyzes the enduring human endeavor to make sense of existence through deities and heroes.
