Humanity remembers: on Jung, mythological criticism and archetypes

Abstract: The influence of mythological criticism can still be felt in such popular contemporary works such as the Star Wars saga, but the scope of its influence is not limited only to science-fiction movies. As a result of a strong connection between mythological criticism, anthropology and psychology, certain authors from all of these fields have introduced key concepts relevant to the analysis of a variety of literary genres. In this article, some of these concepts will be explored, including Jung’s “collective unconscious”, “archetypes” and “individuation”, Frye’s “archetypes”, “mythoi” and “monomyth”, and Campbell’s “Hero’s Journey”. Thanks to the analysis of these notions, it is clear that, although not necessarily present in every work of fiction created, mythological criticism constitutes a valuable field that may serve as a theoretical framework for literary and media analysis.

Resumen: Todavía se puede apreciar la influencia de la crítica mitológica en obras contemporarias y populares tales como la saga de películas de Star Wars. Sin embargo, su campo de influencia no se limita a películas de ciencia ficción. Como consecuencia de una fuerte conexión entre crítica mitológica, antropología y psicología, ciertos autores de estas disciplinas han introducido conceptos clave que son relevantes para el análisis de una amplia gama de géneros literarios. En este artículo, algunos de estos conceptos van a ser explorados, incluyendo el “inconsciente colectivo”, la “individuación” y los “arquetipos” de Jung, los “arquetipos”, el “mythoi” y el “monomito” de Frye, y el “Viaje del Héroe” de Campbell. Gracias al análisis de estas nociones, se evidencia que, aunque no necesariamente esté presente en todas las obras ficticias, la crítica mitológica constituye una disciplina valorable que puede funcionar como marco teórico para el análisis de literatura y medios audiovisuales. 2020-12-09T11:44:15Z 2020-12-09T11:44:15Z 2020 Artículo Gimenez, C.
