Download or read book Biblical Myth and Rabbinic Mythmaking written by Michael A. Fishbane. This book was released on 2005. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive study of myth in the Hebrew Bible and myth and mythmaking in classical rabbinic literature (Midrash and Talmud) and in the classical work of medieval Jewish mysticism (the book of Zohar). Michael Fishbane provides a close study of the texts and theologies involved and the central role of exegesis in the development and transformation of the subject.

Book Synopsis Mythmaking across Boundaries by : Züleyha Çetiner-Öktem
Download or read book Mythmaking across Boundaries written by Züleyha Çetiner-Öktem. This book was released on 2016-04-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the dynamics of myths throughout time and space, along with the mythmaking processes in various cultures, literatures and languages, in a wide range of fields, ranging from cultural studies to the history of art. The papers brought together here are motivated by two basic questions: How are myths made in diverse cultures and literatures? And, do all different cultures have different myths to be told in their artistic pursuits? To examine these questions, the book offers a wide array of articles by contributors from various cultures which focus on theory, history, space/ place, philosophy, literature, language, gender, and storytelling. Mythmaking across Boundaries not only brings together classical myths, but also contemporary constructions and reconstructions through different cultural perspectives by transcending boundaries. Using a wide spectrum of perspectives, this volume, instead of emphasising the different modes of the mythmaking process, connects numerous perceptions of mythmaking and investigates diversities among cultures, languages and literatures, viewing them as a unified whole. As the essays reflect on both academic and popular texts, the book will be useful to scholars and students, as well as the general reader.

Book excerpt: The starting point for this work is that myths are made and remade - on a variety of topics and in widely differing contexts - in a vast continuum stretching from the earliest periods of historical time to the present day. Each section of the work focuses on one particular point in this continuum to show some of the ways in which myths have been made, and made to function, in the rich cultural history of India.
