Sobre mitologías ancestrales y contemporáneas
Palabras clave:
mito, mitologia, Guerra en las estrellas, narrativas, procesos creativosResumen
Este artículo analiza la tipificación de las sagas narrativas creadas a partir del siglo XX como mitologías contemporáneas. El trasfondo teórico revisa los conceptos de mito en Eliade, Cassirer, Jung y Durand para comprender hasta qué punto se aplican a lo que comúnmente se conoce como mitología contemporánea o moderna, como en el caso de la saga transmedia de Star Wars. Metodológicamente, realiza un estudio comparativo de la saga con elementos de mitologías ancestrales. La conclusión muestra que, a pesar de tener puntos de convergencia, la llamada mitología contemporánea se aparta de la ancestral en relación a aspectos y alcances de sus funciones psicológicas y sociales y en términos de creencia.Citas
