The beginning of the twenty-first century has already seen its fair
share of modern myths with heroes such as Spider-Man, Superman, and
Harry Potter. The authors in this volume deconstruct, discuss,
engage, and interrogate the mythologies of the new millennium in
science fiction fantasy texts. Using literary and rhetorical
criticism - paired with philosophy, cultural studies, media arts,
psychology, and communication studies - they illustrate the
function, value, and role of new mythologies, and show that the
universal appeal of these texts is their mythic power, drawing upon
archetypes of the past which resonate with individuals and
throughout culture. In this way they demonstrate how mythology is
timeless and eternal.
