In the next issue of 5-2010 Marxistische Blätter, Comrade R. Steigenwald again addressed the issue so far, with an article titled What False and Authentic dovebbero myths tell us?
It 's interesting that the company began its written with a quote from Thomas Mann, echoing Freud's reasons: " Deep is the well in the past. You should not say it is unfathomable? " [1]
Steigenwald refers to Alfred Bauer [2] , Communist-Jewish extraction, who managed to escape Nazi-Fascist persecution, fled to Argentina-to assert that "today, and now we are surrounded by myths. Unlikely we would be at ease in the world, in the absence of myths. The set of myths brings us to the past. Because, of course, myths are stories that remind us of the past, and thereby to make us understand the new. The 'scenes myth of the 'show our gods, heroes and wise as they are and how they became so, that for us. " But what do we mean by the term \u0026lt;mito>?
"A variety of events and situations are scarcely univocality-of-a definition to tie in the branches of the meanings generated by the use of the term, which appeared in the Greek sources is an historic event: the irruption of a linguistic sign capable of displaying, on the one hand, the creative power inherent in the process of building semantic worlds congealed in oral forms of thought and, secondly, the emergence, in the context of their joints, emblematic of horizons of experience, which are irreducible to paradigms of linear and analytical thinking of the civilization of alphabetic literacy. " [ 3]
"The poems of Homer, thus bringing in wonderful shape around the notion of m u q or V words , speeches, stories that pierce into each other, creating narratives compact and multifaceted, which hold the fast pace of metric modulation traces and clues dating back to the constituent processes and sources of creative genius due to the anonymous oral transmission. ... The thought was codified in the greek narrative shapes and textures of some of his stories characters that define the identity of the compositions which recognizes the dignity and authority of its own myths [4] stories of Proteus, as in the context of other stories, bring the head to the side obscure the 'word', lie in the back of its scaffolding of language at that stage, where the lips they shut themselves and nothing can escape. As suggested by the root m u m of u q or V, a unique sound, a balbetio, a word inarticulate ... the report that the world has established between the greek myth of creation and the presence of figures on it have a special power: at the service of Apollo and Dionysus, the myth is a metaphor of divine life [5] .
Inqualche significant consonance with the Italian Encyclopedia, we have mentioned, rovaiam a German paper, exactly the article, which - by Comrade R. Weimann-carries the theme "Mytholgie", in Volume 3 of the Europäische Enzyklopädie zu Philosophie und Wissenschaften. [6]
Weimann Also, the term \u0026lt;mito> has an ambiguous meaning, because it is intended both as a construct mitlogico, both as a myth along with the design and the knowledge that this item implies. Between myth and doctrine of the myth (that mythology in the strict sense) is the path to the appropriation prehistoric and pre-World, in its elaboration and interpretation of historical and scientific. In Europe, some versions of the myths we know only second hand and its concept. The object itself is not accessible to the current social experience. This is because the myth presupposes certain forms of social conscience, from Marx (but not from 'cosruttori' myths>), seek to dominate the forces of nature and culture in the middle culture. The living legend can be always ricosruito theoretically as a form of thought. The syncretistic moment of the myth, which can bind with the cultural practice of ritual, is nell'affastellamento, no longer feasible, and practical emissions controlled nell'anticipore vital in a fantastic shape, Prelog and arazionale. In what form Promit and total appropriation of the world, the myth reflects both the weakness that the strength homo sapiens, which the union in collective units, can build higher forms of socialization. In the most ancient, the classical myths of Greece in devising a divine world beyond the inferior Olympic animism, shamanism and matriarchy of primitive times, and as bearing the ancient cult of Dionysus, was beaten and subdued. From their results, the religious mystic, who began to separate from other forms of socialization and ownership of the world. However, whereas the oldest functions of the initiation rite and the cult of fertility in ancient classical myths began to lose significance or, indeed, were removed, the arts drammattiche found in both, on the one hand, the magnitude deammaturgica and, secondly, the primitive root issue of theatrical production. Unlike the prehistoric myths, the history of mythology can be understood only by the history of its theoretical sophistry It begins in the Hellenistic, who played the traditional legends and representations as expressions of a nature trail. This so-called interpretation of the divine world, as well as the moral and allegorical medieval compartment not more than the Renaissance, in which the ancient world of glorified natualezza justify and enhance the sensitivity of the arts. A new concept of the myth created over time, as well as historical changes in the same modern world allows a deeper penetration of the ancient world and the lives of peoples. Thus the allegorical interpretation of myth is imposed together with the German Enlightenment and the myth is no longer understood as a primitive form of pegiudizi old, but even as the most beautiful and rich in content between the poetic and the construction philosophy (Herder).
Myths are, like everything that is meaningful, that people create, a high dimension. The myths of Prometheus and Heracles , Antigone and Cassandra, of Deucalion and Noah, Moses and Kytro, Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and King Sigurd Atu, to take but of Foreign examples are imperishable and uncreated. And the dreamers, poets, sages, the rebels and innovators of the world is always in them a new inspiration, a new direction.
In the myth, he lived congiugono historical, social, geographical, anthropological, equivalent to one another. So it is no wonder that some original myths: the story of Abran and his son Isaac, that of Agamemnon and his sister Iphigenia, that of Cain and Abel, Romulus and Remus , even if imposed in regions so remote, seem to copy a dick. This applies in particular since, in the history of the Theban Athamante and Phristo, the first-is that the father must sacrifice his son, but precisely the moment when Athamente was preparing to sacrifice, Heracles shouted: "My father Zeus ee condemnation of the sky with all the indignation human sacrifice. " with the story of Abraham we make the experience more that human sacrifice was taken away with the practice of circumcision until then was worth throughout the Near East, which was sacrificed the first born, this practice disappeared because \u0026lt;is replaced by circumcision.
In all these myths is told a dramatic break in the history of mankind, but only those who know something of history, cmprende what is said. This happened to me once, but I thought, when Mephisto in Faust talking about Lilith, the first woman to Adam. Today, I know that in a single sentence that contains the drama of the destruction of the matriarchy and its replacement with patriarchy. When drafting dell'AnticoTestamento excluded from the sacred text oriental myths, this fundamental break they tried to make it understandable with stories in part exceptionally passionate and brutal. An example of this is the serpent of Paradise, which led to sin, both Adam and Eve. This is the reason why we have to torment us with the job and let us afflict other punishments (from Marxism, Bauer is far, of course, see the work in a curse, as in the greek myth work is not characterized to that effect). That Lilith, as the Canaanite women in general, sexual promiscuity is a proper condition, sacedotale literature is rich in moral condemnation of this situation. Lilith is depicted as a great devourer of men and un'infanticida as well as a fundamentally INSTRUMENTS work to rid the brain of any regret for the matriarchy. But all is not well Ruscito. Cities ebaiche-and not only they-had traditionally female names.
[1] - I mean, as feudianamente is unfathomable the unconscious, like the Mann suggests unfathomableness the past (and myth, as far as n which it is a story that just speaks of the past). Of course that does not meaviglia mythology-both in the sense of reflection on the myths, and in that complex of myths in psychoanalysis find an echo-wide and deep.
