MYTH, SYMBOL, AND RITUAL: ELUCIDATORY PATHS TO THE FANTASTIC UNREALITY
The present volume insists on the policies derived from the social ideas generated by myths, the updating of myths as an arsenal of social pedagogy, on the ethnic condition of the relevance of myths, but also on the resumption by mass media of the pejorative sense of the myth. This volume is part of the scientific series “Mythology and Folklore”.
Expressions of Fear from Antiquity to the Contemporary World
The volume offers a timely discussion of the feeling of fear, adopting a diachronic and complex perspective, taking into account its various forms, including its literary, mythological, anthropological, psychoanalytical, etymological, philosophical, theological, and historiographical representations, among others. It tackles the concept of fear in a range of time periods in cultural and literary history, from the Archaic Period and Greco-Roman Classical Antiquity to the modern and postmodern periods. As such, the volume marks an extremely relevant contribution to scholarship in the humanities, and will be of interest to scholars, professors, and students, as well as anyone interested in the analysis of profound human feelings.
The Sense and Sensibility of Madness
This volume explores the intriguing ontological ambiguities of madness in literature and the arts. Despite its association with a diseased/abnormal mind, there can be much sense and sensibility in madness. Daring to break free from the dictates of normalcy, madwomen and madmen disrupt the status quo. Yet, as they venture into unchartered or prohibited terrain, they may also unleash the liberatory and transformative potential of unrestrained madness. Contributors are Doreen Bauschke, Teresa Bell, Isil Ezgi Celik, Terri Jane Dow, Peter Gunn, Anna Klambauer, Rachel A. Sims and Ruxanda Topor.

Poétique, mythes et croyances
La dynamique des cultures continue de nous interpeler par un entrelacs paradoxal de récits et de textualités, à la façon des savoirs multiples. L'histoire, la littérature, les sciences du langage et les mathématiques se rencontrent dans une approche interdisciplinaire de restitution des croyances et mythes anciens et contemporains. Des chercheurs européens y fournissent une lecture utile aux spécialistes, mais aussi à tout lecteur intéressé par les avatars culturels des mythes et croyances.
