Mythology 285
September 9, 2010
- looking for monster blogger/note takers
- re-title your blogs sites with your name
- each day we will pay some attention to blogs
- Sara's blog "who knew it would be so damn funny"
- Doug's and Rio dated in order of who last blogged.
- read the blogs of other people to help you learn how to blog
- syllabus tells you exactly what to blog about
- Dustin's blog about hydegar and hisergar
- dialectical activity, engage in some else blogging, read what they have to say
- Dustin's - quote from Eliade "living a myth......
- Seth has terrific blogs
- Memento - nature of memory, chapter 7 mythologies of ........
- discussions of creations and origin's
- movie 8 and half by Federico.......
- no book is ever read, it's only re-read
- MOO is a great example of the beginning, middles and ends (chapter 15)
- classroom warfare
- dreams (please blog about them)
"what is a dream if it isn't a personalized myth, and what is a myth if it isn't a depersonalized dream" Joseph Campbell
- means:
a dream which you have ends up becoming universal, which is myth
when you have a dream it is usually about you
we are all narcissist
de-personal the dream, and you realize the truth of the that thing that people have been saying to you for years, this isn't about you....that's absolutely right...it's about everybody, then you are in the world of myth
when you start personalizing myth, then you start talking about the nature of dreams
- the big screen is a great place to go to, to get mythological themes
see a movie that doesn't seem to be about mythological and then realize that it is
- it is true that when we look into an ordinary life we find the mythological (truths)
- Word with Power (23):
myth - "they express the human bewilderment about why we are here (a noise took out the last part of the quote)
and it includes the myth of creation, the fall of exodus and migration, of the destruction of human race and the past, such as in ???(something) for the future of apocalyptic myths, of redemption and some phase of life, during or after this one, such myth outline as broadly as words can do, humanity vision of it nature, it's destiny, it's place in the universe, it sense of ........"
- this quote really does supply all you need to know about mythology
- the big questions "who am I?", "why am I here?", "what am I suppose to do?" and "what is the ultimate meaning and purpose of existence?"
- end of the last class we ended a part one of the pdf sent - myth the way we were the way we are
- the pdf never got to the students...will work on it
- talking about - Is myth a lie or is it the truth? Is it that thing we did as children and now that we are grown up we get rid of it?
THE WORDS OF POWER QUOTE IS KIND OF BROKEN UP, SO FOR ANYONE WHO CAN HELP FILL IT IN, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
