Myth, fairy tales, and folk heroes are an indelible part of global culture. In keeping with this year’s conference theme, this panel is interested in how mythologies or mythical heroes function to redefine or reassert cultural identities at moments of crisis—creating relationships between this world and the fairy world, between the past and the present, between one culture and another. Possible topics (though contributors are not limited to these) may include:
Comparative mythology
Moments of conflict in mythological settings
Folk heroes in popular culture
Reading mythology in terms of cultural capital
Film or other adaptations
Heroism
Cross-culture comparison/transmission
Children’s fairy tales
Abstracts of 250-300 words should be emailed to Kristin Noone at kristin.noone@email.ucr.edu by March 5, 2010. Please indicate any A/V needs.
