{"product_id":"theorizing-myth-narrative-ideology-and-scholarship","title":"Theorizing Myth: Narrative, Ideology, and Scholarship","description":"In Theorizing Myth, Bruce Lincoln traces the way scholars and others have used the category of \"myth\" to fetishize or deride certain kinds of stories, usually those told by others.\n\nHe begins by showing that mythos yielded to logos not as part of a (mythic) \"Greek miracle,\" but as part of struggles over political, linguistic, and epistemological authority occasioned by expanded use of writing and the practice of Athenian democracy. Lincoln then turns his attention to the period when myth was recuperated as a privileged type of narrative, a process he locates in the political and cultural ferment of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Here, he connects renewed enthusiasm for myth to the nexus of Romanticism, nationalism, and Aryan triumphalism, particularly the quest for a language and set of stories on which nation-states could be founded.\n\nIn the final section of this wide-ranging book, Lincoln advocates a fresh approach to the study of myth, providing varied case studies to support his view of myth—and scholarship on myth—as ideology in narrative form.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0226482022\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0226482022.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lincoln, Bruce\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
