This course will be held in 1810 Hinman room 104.
This course will introduce students to three different approaches to the analysis of myth and symbolism: psychoanalysis, functionalism, and structuralism. Readings will concentrate on the writings of the three authors who pioneered each approach: Freud, Malinowski, and Levi-Strauss. Lectures will discuss the theoretical contributions of each of these authors, as well as showing how their methods can be applied to the analysis of particular myths. Examples in class will be drawn from Genesis. This course counts toward the Weinberg College ethics and values distribution requirement, Area V.
