Institution:

Urbana University

Subject:

Description:

This course seeks to understand the role of myth and ritual in human life. While some have dismissed myth and ritual as irrational and ineffective ways of knowing and acting, others celebrate myth and ritual for containing our profoundest truths and for the power they give to live in the world. Looking at other people's myths and rituals can help us understand the differences and similarities between cultures and understand ourselves more fully. For this reason, this course will look broadly across the world's cultures in addition to examining the role of myth and ritual in contemporary American culture.
