Hello All,
For Friday's blog, choose a film you would like to analyze for our second essay, and brainstorm the ways in which it uses the ideas Eliade details in The Myth of the Eternal Return:
Celestial Archetypes
Symbolism of the Center
Road to the Center
Profane/Sacred Time and Space
Abolition of Past Time
Restoration of Primordial Chaos (Invasion of the Dead, Sexual Excess/Chaos, Abolition of Norms/Overturning of Values, Indeterminate Unity)
Repetition of the Cosmogonic Act (Motifs of Renewal: fire, ritual combat, erotic elements)
