Abstract:
The article analyzes the current state and functional features of the genres of myth, legend and narrative in post folklore. Small genres of folk oral epic creation, such as myths, legends, and narratives, serve the function of providing artistic information to the listener. They do not have a special artistic form. In addition, these genres have a broad mass performance character and do not have special performers. Because myths, legends, and narratives are dominated by exaggerated fiction, exaggerated interpretation, real reality does not fit their imaginative capabilities.

Abstract:
Many cultures have developed myths and legends rooted in the ideas of vampirism, lycanthropy, and witchcraft. According to anthropological currents, these stories don’t come up from nothing, but follow a process of transformation of elements drawn from real experiences eventually transformed into fictional stories depending on the message they are meant to spread. Every legend has an origin in history, an event with no plausible explanation at the time due to lack of scientific technology and resources. Although, reality can be described in scientific terms. These possible facts connected to mythology do not entirely explain the success of myth in folklore, but only some more or less impressive aspects following these legends. These facts when turned and twisted by imagination and superstitious thinking create these inexplicable enthralling stories which undoubtedly would be passed down to generations as souvenirs of history, culture, and civilization.

Abstract:
Abstract This article discusses the permanence of Yorùbá myth-legends in Atlantic Yorùbá dramaturgy. The dramaturgy is conceived as a genre of Atlantic Yorùbá literature produced by the scions of Yorùbá slaves in the New World and some òrìṣà worshippers in the Americas who claim an affiliative relationship with continental Yorùbá. I argue in favour of a myth-legend taxonomy of oral prose narratives as against the Western classification of traditional tales into myth, legend and folktale. Yorùbá traditional tales, also called pataki by the Atlantic Yorùbá, are dubbed myth-legends due to the shared features of myths and legends immanent in them. The article examines these traditional tales, drawing insights from psychoanalytic and postcolonial models to foreground the Ọbàtálá–Jesus parallelism, primeval rivalry between Ṣàngó and Ògún, and the paraphilia of certain Yorùbá hero-gods. It affirms the Euhemerisation of these deities to accentuate their apotheosis and possession of human attributes.

Abstract:
The legend of the Wandering Jew became very popular, especially from the 17th century Western Europe. The story of punishment by eternal life until the next coming of Jesus Christ has parallels with the Buddhist legend of Pindola Bharadvaja, a disciple of Shakyamuni Buddha who was also punished by eternal life until the coming of the Future Buddha, Maitreya. The similarities were dealt with the Japanese polymath, Minakata Kumagusu (1899) and Walter Edwards (1902) in the turn of the 20th century, claiming that the story of the Wandering Jew was influenced by the Asian legends of Pindola. In this paper I show that even if we do not have convincing evidences for proving any historical connections between these legends, the myth of eternal life as a punishment is an interesting idea, which appears in many traditions, forming layers on the existing and ever-growing traditions of myths and pictorial representations.

You, Xiao. "Archetype and archetypal image in Chinese myths, legends and tales." Thesis, University of Essex, 2018. http://repository.essex.ac.uk/23484/.

Full text
Abstract:
This research aims to examine Chinese myths, legends and tales from the perspective of analytical psychology. Considering that analytical psychologists have paid little attention to Chinese myths and that previous studies on Chinese myths from the standpoint of analytical psychology are lacking, this thesis investigates the universal archetype and its cultural carrier, or archetypal image, in Chinese mythical texts. First, this study examines both Jung’s engagement with Chinese culture, in order to see the function and significance of Chinese thought in analytical psychology, and the reception of Jungian thought in China, in order to demonstrate the lack of research on Chinese myths from the perspective of the theory of analytical psychology. Second, the study defines the concepts of archetype and archetypal image, and adopts the method of myth analysis from Jung and his followers to interpret Chinese motifs and symbols. Third, interpretations from the perspective of analytical psychology are applied to three motifs in Chinese culture: creation myths, flood myths and erotic anima figures. These provide materials for exploring similarities and differences in the mechanism and development of the human psyche between East and West. Fourth, this research concentrates on discussing two important Chinese symbols – Long (dragon) and Qi lin (unicorn) and their counterparts in western culture – by analysing these symbols at both the archetypal and cultural levels. The final part of this study explores the possible therapeutic value of Chinese myths in helping analysts to comprehend the human psyche and analysands to understand themselves in greater depth. This thesis fills a gap in the understanding of Chinese myth by means of Jungian psychology with the hope also of applying analytical psychology to Chinese culture more thoroughly and insightfully in both theoretical and practical contexts.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Timothy Duket
Synthesizing elements of so many traditions, fantasy has grown into perhaps the most pervasive genre of literature in the western world. The archetypal adventures and themes that have been carried into fantasy through ancient legends and myths have survived over the ages because it was decided long ago those tales had great worth. It was the unpopular and poorly formed legends that died out, while the superior stories were carried from culture to culture under new guises. In this way, fantasy can be seen as the culmination of human legends, filtered throughout history so that only the great tales remain. On what greater pedestal could a form of literature be based? Fantasy has even continued the refinement process in the last fifty years, with active writers like Jordan and Goodkind incorporating elements from the greatest of previous fantasy authors like Tolkien, Howard, and Donaldson. Thus fantasy is continually improving upon itself and evolving in new ways through its modification of old themes. How long can critics refuse to recognize fantasy as a legitimate form? With such admirable authors writing today, it seems logical that the answer would be sooner rather than later. Might fantasy be vanquished by sneering critics and replaced with another form of fiction? Gandalf claims even the Wise cannot see all ends, and while in no way do I profess such wisdom, I find it difficult to believe that, as the successor of mythology, fantasy will ever fizzle and die. A force greater than all the magic swords and rings combined would be necessary to kill four thousand years of human imagination

Abstract:
I examine the concept of "culture" being promoted in the Canadian policy of multiculturalism and by Tamil refugees safeguarding their culture in Quebec. I take culture in its relation to power as my focus. I explore what culture means to the Tamils, and how the Canadian ideology of multiculturalism is implicated in the way Tamil "culture keepers" (re)construct their cultural identity.
This research addresses popular "multiculturalism" movements which use anthropological notions of culture but fail to problematize the notion of culture itself. I illustrate how and why the concept of culture is itself culturally embedded and historically shaped, and thus dense with political implications.
It also addresses anthropological approaches which avoid realist ethnography because of its political implications. I argue that a focus on culture in its relation to power is necessary in order to examine anthropology's own continuing involvement in imperialism.

Abstract:
After the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821) ending Spanish rule, Mexico formed a republic. By the 1880s there was ‘reformation’ in the Mexican church and the growth of ‘modernization’ in a caste based society governed by dictators. Amid all these changes, there was a growth of a nationalist ideology which sought to break free of Spanish roots in search of a new “Mexican” identity. As nationalism unfolded, there was a resurgence of some histories that became legends. I’ve noted a trend among legends with female protagonists, legends tend to portray women in a negative way. Two legends that have caught my attention emerge from the lives of two women from colonial Mexico. One is based on the life of Malinalli (Malintzin), a Nahuatl woman from sixteenth-century Mexico who at a young age was sold into slavery, but eventually became a talented interpreter, advisor and negotiator for Hernán Cortés during conquest. The other legend is about María Magdalena Dávalos y Orosco, a widowed woman from eighteenth-century Mexico who was able to gain control of her husband’s estate and manage many of his properties. More often than not, I’ve found that the legends that transpired from the retelling of an account of past events women’s lives, exclude their accomplishments and emphasize their “deviant” tendencies. Through the use of oral histories, scholarly articles and texts relevant to Malintzin and María Magdalena’s circumstances, I will explore their legends to argue that they have a lot of valuable information to offer.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation examines the representation of treachery in three foundation myths of Iberia: Fernán González and the independence of Castile, Bernardo del Carpio, and Sancho II and the siege of Zamora. The project is a diachronic study which considers literary versions of these myths from both medieval and Golden Age Spain, with a view to comparing the representation of treachery across two historical time periods which share a close interest in the presentation of Spanish history, and through different literary versions of the legends, in epic, chronicle and theatre. Chapters 2 and 3 of the dissertation treat versions of these myths from the thirteenth century, in the Estoria de España (1252-84), and the Poema de Fernán González (c. 1250), whilst chapters 4 and 5 examine the reproduction of these legends in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, in the theatre of Golden Age Spain. I examine two plays by Juan de la Cueva, Comedia de la muerta del rey don Sancho, y reto de Çamora, por don Diego Ordóñez, and Comedia de la libertad de España por Bernardo del Carpio (1579-81), and four works by Lope de Vega: El casamiento en la muerte (1595-97), Las mocedades de Bernardo del Carpio (1599-1608), El conde Fernán González (1606-12) and Las almenas de Toro (1610-19). Broadly understood, the aim of this study is to provide a fuller understanding of the role of treachery in relation to the dynamics of group identity, both in these literary accounts and beyond.

The present study portrays the situation of São Domingos, a district where the Terra Ronca State Park is situated, not due to its environmental aspects, but especially, because of the oral history bias of its myths, legends and traditions. The objective of the research was to register and to document the diversity of the cultural expressions of the municipal district and to identify reasons for the reduction and disappearance of several manifestations. Therefore, the study opted for an exploratory nature based research, grounded on a qualitative approach. Data collection instruments were defined due to their purposes. Semi-structured interviews, field observations and document analysis were conducted. The Terra Ronca State Park was created in 1989 to protect a valuable speleological complex, in which seven of the thirty largest caves in Brazil are found. That municipal district, located in the goiano northeast, appeared in the period of the gold cycle and is nowadays inserted in an area considered as the poverty corridor of the State of Goiás. Its interior shelters a cultural and religious heritage, which is quite rich and diversified, as the Pilgrimage to Bom Jesus da Lapa , which has its cultural representation with masses, baptisms and parties developed inside a cave. Of the more than three hundred caves which compose the Park, the Terra Ronca cave is the best known and most surrounded by mysteries and legends. Among them, it is said that the cave served as a hiding place for the city s population when the Coluna Prestes , a group of rebels, passed through São Domingos. Nowadays, the people that live in the Park go through problems such as the reduction or disappearance of their cultural expressions, an outstanding characteristic of their regional identity. The results indicated that the implementation of the Conservation Unit of the Terra Ronca State Park was the great motivator of several conflicts, which could be noticed in issues related to the land. The Unit did not consider the reconciliation between the human occupation and the environmental preservation, provoking a strong feeling of rejection, insecurity and dissatisfaction among landowners in the area. This social-environmental conflict provoked serious reflexes on the maintenance and preservation of the cultural aspects, in particular, on the preservation of their myths, legends and traditions.
O presente estudo retrata a situação do Município de São Domingos, onde está inserido o Parque Estadual de Terra Ronca, não pela vertente ambientalista, mas especialmente sob o viés da história oral dos seus mitos, lendas e tradições. O objetivo da pesquisa foi registrar e documentar a diversidade das expressões culturais do município e identificar as razões da redução e desaparecimento de várias manifestações. Assim, optou-se por uma pesquisa de natureza exploratória, fundamentada na abordagem qualitativa. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram definidos em função de suas finalidades. Foram utilizadas entrevistas, observações de campo e análise de documentos. O Parque de Terra Ronca foi criado em 1989 para proteger um valioso complexo espeleológico no qual são encontradas sete das trinta maiores cavernas do Brasil. Nesse município, situado no nordeste goiano, surgido no período do ciclo do ouro, hoje está inserido em uma região considerada como o corredor da miséria do Estado de Goiás. O município possui um patrimônio cultural e religioso bastante rico e diversificado, como a Romaria do Bom Jesus da Lapa, que tem sua representação cultural com missas, batizados e festas, desenvolvidas dentro da gruta. Das mais de trezentas cavernas que compõem o Parque, a gruta Terra Ronca é a mais conhecida e a mais cheia de mistérios e lendas, entre elas, a de que serviu de esconderijo para a população da cidade, quando da passagem da Coluna Prestes por São Domingos. Nos dias atuais, a população vive problemas de redução ou de desaparecimento de algumas de suas expressões culturais, característica marcante de sua identidade regional. Os resultados indicaram que a implantação da Unidade de Conservação do Parque Estadual de Terra Ronca foi o grande motivador de diversos conflitos, que puderam ser percebidos nas questões fundiárias, que não considerou conciliar ocupação humana com preservação ambiental, provocando um forte sentimento de rejeição, insegurança e insatisfação nos proprietários de terras daquela localidade. Esse conflito sócio-ambiental proporcionou sérios reflexos sobre a manutenção dos aspectos culturais, particularmente, sobre seus mitos, lendas e tradições.

Abstract:
Este trabalho propõe uma leitura da obra ficcional de José Veríssimo (1857-1916) e Inglês de Sousa (1853-1918), especificamente, dos livros Cenas da Vida Amazônica (1886) e Contos Amazônicos (1893), que têm em comum a tomada ficcional do baixo Amazonas. Entendemos que o relato de viagem composto por expedicionários estrangeiros acarretou empréstimo estético e discursivo à narrativa amazônica, como os relatos produzidos por cientistas, por meio dos quais se vinculou o embate civilização e barbárie, o redescobrimento da paisagem amazônica e suas lendas. Além de uma análise mais geral dessas narrativas, traçando pontos de correlação com o relato de viagem, para Cenas da Vida Amazônica foi determinante o estudo da Revista Amazônica (1883-1884), no qual se pode verificar a correlação entre ficção e não-ficção, literatura e história, mito e ciência caminhando lado a lado, resultando nas características formais de O crime do tapuio, para Contos Amazônicos foi esclarecedor alguns texto de sua recepção, na medida em que se verificou uma crítica mais favorável às narrativas declaradas históricas, deixando em segundo plano as narrativas atreladas ao imaginário popular, como ficou renegado O gado do Valha-me-Deus, ainda que, alcançasse como outros textos em Contos Amazônicos uma forma mais refinada do gênero conto.
This work proposes a reading of the fictional work of José Veríssimo (1857-1916) and the Inglês de Sousa (1853-1918), specifically from the books Scenes of Amazonian Life (1886) and Amazonian Tales (1893) fiction of the Lower Amazon. We understand that the travel account made up of foreign expeditionary brought an aesthetic and discursive loan to the Amazonian narrative, such as the reports produced by scientists, through which civilization and barbarism was linked, the rediscovery of the Amazonian landscape and its legends. In addition to a more general analysis of these narratives, tracing correlation points with the travel account, for the Amazonian Life Scenes was determinant the study of the Amazon Magazine (1883-1884), in which the correlation between fiction and non-fiction can be verified , literature and history, myth and science walking side by side, resulting in the formal characteristics of \"The crime of tapuio\", for Amazonian Tales was illuminating some text of its reception, in the measure that a criticism was verified more favorable to the narratives declared historical , leaving in the background the narratives linked to the popular imagination, as was denied \"The cattle of Good damn it\", although, as other texts in Amazonian Tales reached a more refined form of the genre.

Abstract:
With many States setting goals in the 2010–2020 timeframe for increased U.S. electricity production from renewable energy sources totaling nearly 100,000 MW nationwide, innovative solutions are required; as well as the suspension of several myths of conventional wisdom concerning renewable energy. Since Wind, Hydro and Solar are “opportunity” energy supplies not necessarily available when electricity demands are high; there is a great need for a renewable, “dispatchable” energy source that would be available anytime. Building on the experience of the Pulp and Paper Industry, waste-wood fueled IGCC units of 100MW size are practical today; and new gasification technologies being developed for power plants promise high efficiency, and competitive electricity pricing. With these new IGCC technologies, the US Department of Agriculture estimates there is more than enough wood waste to meet the renewable energy goals currently being considered, cost-competitively and environmentally responsibly.

Abstract:
The paper applied a content analysis method to examine how myths and legends have been employed by the promotional organization in portraying New Zealand on the official tourism website. The assessment of the website uncovered six main legends which have been presented in the promotion of New Zealand to potential tourists. These traditional tales have been incorporated into the website chiefly as part of Maori heritage attributes in which purakau (the Maori term for legends) represents among crucial aspects in understanding their worldviews and cultural identities. Legends narrating fishing voyages involving demi gods offers a mythological explanation of the origin of the geological formation of islands of New Zealand were presented more than once on the website. Among the legends presented to readers on the websites encompass stories of Tane Mahuta, which depicts the tale of the sky father, the earth mother, and the creation of the world of light that humans live in today. Another unique legend, Paikea the whale rider, is featured as part of the description of a whale-watching attraction in Kaikoura, Christchurch. The overall analysis uncovered that legendary tales are incorporated into the website as the part historical origin of Maori people and in the promotion of several tourist attractions in New Zealand. From a tourism perspective, the representation of these tales enhances the appeal of destinations and make them stand out to visitors. The inclusion of the purakau offers tourists a deeper understanding of the cultural heritage of this country. Furthermore, Maori worldviews on the creation of the universe and formation of the natural environment are transpired. It is noticeable through these legends that Maori people strongly respect their ancestors and highly appreciated natural resources. Finally, the emphasis on environmental conservation and sustainability as ingrained in the tales further supported the overall promotional tagline of 100% Pure New Zealand and the inclusion of Tiaki Promise a commitment to care for New Zealand, for now, and for future generations on the official tourism website.

Abstract:
Individual ecological literacy is formed through combination of educational and practical activities and emotional intelligence. Walking tours, excursions, hiking can be supplemented with exciting storytelling that also includes book citations, legends and myths. The ecological trail teaches that humans are rather guests than masters of the nature. The guests should respect the rules of the master’s home. We must protect, love and observe the nature, because we are at one.

Abstract:
Both liquids pipeline and natural gas transportation companies have been confronted with increasing competition over the past several years. Shippers have become far more demanding, insisting that transporters provide more cost effective rates. As a result, pipeline companies are under increased pressure to reduce transportation rates. This scenario is also true for regulated pipelines where shippers are joining forces to pressure transporters to be more creative in their ways of doing business so they can provide lower tolls. In order to assess their current cost structures and identify the most appropriate areas of their business to focus improvement efforts, pipeline companies have benchmarked their performance against competitors and leaders in the industry. Companies have used the results from these benchmarking studies for several purposes: a) understand cost / activity driver relationships; b) obtain empirical versus anecdotal information; c) assess their current level of performance; d) identify opportunities for improvement, focusing efforts on areas with the greatest potential for cost reductions; e) establishing realistic performance improvement targets; f) challenge corporate “myths and legends”; and g) provide insights into leading business practices that have been used by other companies to improve efficiencies. Results from the benchmarking studies suggest that the pipeline industry is, in general, reacting to this pressure for lower transportation costs. Over the past three years, based on a sample of North American pipeline companies, both liquids and gas pipelines have reported improvements in operating costs on a unitized/normalized basis. These cost reductions have resulted from focusing improvement efforts on key areas of the business where performance was not up to industry standards. Modifying business practices in these areas has been critical in assisting these organizations in reducing costs. This paper will present a comprehensive approach to conducting pipeline benchmarking studies. Actual performance results for both gas transportation and liquids carriers will be discussed. The results will focus both on current cost levels as well as industry trends. In addition, it will provide insights into initiatives that have been successful in helping reduce cost structures, moving them towards being the “shipper of choice”.

Abstract:
В данной статье описан фрагмент психотерапевтической работы в парадигме юнгианского анализа с использованием метода амплификации с пациентом, имеющим пограничное расстройство психики. Амплификация — инструмент аналитической работы, введенный в практику К.Г. Юнгом, позволяющий исследовать и интерпретировать явные и скрытые психодинамические процессы через символический язык. По сути процесс амплификации — осмысление индивидуальной психической жизни индивида посредством использования коллективного опыта знаний: мифов, легенд, сказок и т.п. Современная психология, считал Юнг, так или иначе, имеет дело с продуктами бессознательной фантазии - мифологическими и сказочными мотивами, наиболее объективно отражающими динамику психической жизни. «Пользуясь методом мифологической амплификации, мы выбираем те или иные аналогии потому, что их смысловое ядро идентично содержанию исследуемых процессов или в каком-то отношении походит на него. Принимая в качестве данности, что все, когда-либо выраженное человеком в словесной или образной форме, обладает абсолютной психической реальностью, мы можем утверждать, что любая аналогия помогает уточнить, объяснить и подтвердить наше толкование мотивов бессознательных процессов» [4]. В случае с данным пациентом универсально подошла русская народная сказка «Пойди туда — не знаю куда, принеси то — не знаю что» [22]. Опираясь на исследования признанных авторов психоанализа и аналитической психологии, амплификацию этой сказки можно рассматривать как абрис мужского пути индивидуации, «синтетического процесса», описанного К.Г.Юнгом [12]. «Возможной целью, здоровым предназначением ассимилирующих процессов является путь индивидуации, подразумевающий самоосуществление, становление человека самим собой. Индивидуация от лат. in-dividuus означает «неделимый», «неразделенный», «неразведенный», «нерасщепленный» [19]. Индивидуация предполагает достижение психически нового интегрированного состояния, установление устойчивой связи между эго (осознаваемый идентифицированный образ «Я») и архетипом Самости (сложный центр психической жизни, соединяющий бессознательные и сознательные знания человека о себе самом и трансформирующий личность,). Амплификация данной сказки позволяет исследовать внутрипсихическое взаимодействие архетипической пары — маскулинного начала в сознательном поле мужчины и женского в его бессознательном — на разных этапах развития. Подобное взаимодействие отражает реальные отношения с противоположным полом, отзеркаливая внутреннюю/внешнюю мужскую/женскую часть личности. Также данная амплификация дает возможность предположить, что является основным фактором, «запускающим» процесс индивидуации у мужчин. This article describes a fragment of psychotherapeutic work in the paradigm of Jungian analysis using the amplification method with a patient with borderline mental disorder. Amplification is a tool of analytical work introduced into practice by C.G. Jung, which allows to investigate and interpret explicit and hidden psychodynamic processes through symbolic language. In essence, the amplification process is the comprehension of an individual's individual mental life through the use of collective experience of knowledge: myths, legends, fairy tales, etc. «In myths and fairy tales, as in dreams, the soul tells its own story, and the interaction of archetypes is revealed in its natural frame: "creation, re-creation, eternal spirit eternal entertainment»[13]. In the case of this patient, the Russian folk tale «Go there — I don't know where, bring that — I don't know what» was universally suitable [22]. Based on the research of recognized authors of psychoanalysis and analytical psychology, the amplification of this fairy tale can be considered as an outline of the male path of individuation, a «synthetic process» described by C.G. Jung[12]. «A possible goal, a healthy purpose of assimilating processes is the path of individuation, implying self-fulfillment, becoming a person himself. Individuation from Lat. in-dividuus means «indivisible», «undivided» [19]. Individuation presupposes the achievement of a psychically new integrated state, the establishment of a stable connection between the ego (a conscious identified image of the «I») and the archetype of the Self (a complex center of mental life that connects the unconscious and conscious knowledge of a person about himself and transforms the personality). The amplification of this fairy tale allows us to explore the intrapsychic interaction of the archetypal pair — the masculine principle in the conscious field of a man and the female in his unconscious — at different stages of development. Such interaction reflects a real relationship with the opposite sex, mirroring the inner/outer male/female part of the personality. Also, this amplification makes it possible to assume that it is the main factor «triggering» the process of individuation in men.
