Abstract:

The article deals with the problem of the truth of modern media myths using specific information materials about Kalevala, the homeland of classical Karelian mythology. The study was conducted in two stages: the empirical stage was carried out during a comprehensive research expedition of the Humanitarian Innovation Park of Petrozavodsk State University to the Kalevala National District of Karelia, while the second stage was implemented during the office processing of the collected data. Sociological survey and in-depth interview, as well as the analysis and comparison of media myths and classical myths were used as research methods. The second stage of the study led to some generalizations and conclusions. As a result of the study, essential functions performed by media myths in modern culture were identified; six media myths about Kalevala were verified; each myth’s content and its reflection in reality were analyzed. Special attention was paid to the transformation of the classical Karelian myth of Sampo into a modern media myth verified in this study. All in all, the article presents conclusions about the conformity of modern media myths with the provisions of Aleksey Losev’s mythological theory and summarizes the cultural and creative function of modern media mythology.

Abstract:

Plato criticized Mythos for its falsity, but he uses many myths in his own dialogues on the way to attaining truth. He had a distinct standard for making use of or dismissing a myth: truth or falsity. His myths are the inseparable part of his philosophical logos. Heidegger interpreted the myths in Republic from the perspective of the truth of being. Polis is a metaphor of alētheia. The Cave myth presents a vivid picture of how to reach truth by struggling with concealment. The Er myth showed that unconcealment is destined to decline and turn to concealment. As the souls were required to drink the water of ameleta, concealment and forgetfulness entered into the essence of human being. In the essence of truth there is untruth, the counter-essence of truth. Firstly, the truth is reached by struggling with every kind of untruth. Secondly, according to the essence of being, truth of being or the presencing is in order, which means that it comes from concealment and soon goes into concealment again. The truth of being is not physis/emerging as in the Greek, but declining. The decline is determined from the start, as destiny.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to describe the variety of expression of the myth of pregnancy and its implementation in the millennial generation in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province. This type of research is field research, using descriptive qualitative and quantitative research methods. The research approach is a sociological approach using the mythical structuralist theory of Claude Levi-Strauss. The results of this study show that there are twenty-one different myths during pregnancy that develop in the community in the province of Kepualauan Bangka Belitung. This pregnancy myth contains about anxieties or prohibitions that have a certain impact if followed or not followed for the society that believes in it. Of the 120 millennial respondents who answered about the implementation of pregnancy myths, it was found that 30.8 percent had implemented a myth during pregnancies, 28.3 percent sometimes implemented the myth while pregnant, and 40.8 percent never implemented myth when pregnant. Thus, it can be concluded that the millennial generation is still quite a lot that implements both the myth of prohibition and abortion during pregnancy. This means that many millennials still believe and still believe in the leaders or ancestors of the parents / elders or cultures / traditions spread in the community environment where they live. The results of this research are in line with Claude Levi-Strauss’s theory of structural patterns of mythology, namely about human myths and intuitions, mythos and language, the structure of the myth, as well as myth and social values.

Abstract:

This article examines the creation myth in Serat Purwakandha Brantakusuman (SPB), how its characteristics are compared to myths in Indonesia and existing mythical theories, and explains philosophical themes that can be examined from these myths in order to give its theoretical contributions in existing mythical theories. It is a literature study by reviewing books texts, research reports, journals, and other sources. The analysis is done by interpretation, coherence-holistic, description, and analysis-synthesis. The theoretical framework used is the myth theory C A. Van Peursen and Clifford Geertz. The results of the study indicate that the myth of the creation of plants in SPB is based on the story of the death of Dewi Tisnawati who was banished to earth. The study of myths about the origin of plants is new because research examining myths related to agriculture and Dewi Sri, the influence of myths in life and human activities, forms of rituals and socio-cultural activities, and the relationship between myths and art, are more related to origin place. The myths in SPB and myths in Indonesia contribute to supporting myth concepts that have been described by great thinkers. The creation myth and other myths in the SPB can be subject to study from the perspective of the branches of philosophy and its conceptual substances can also be criticized philosophically

Abstract:

Pregnancy is a stage in a woman’s life when she is more open to receiving health advice, especially related to diet. However, women are often caught between receiving scientifically unfounded myths and concrete empirical knowledge. Culturally perpetuated myths may be acted upon more than knowledge, but research on these concepts, especially in the Americas, is scarce. This cross-sectional study aimed to describe the frequency of diet and nutrition myths and knowledge and describe the associated factors in pregnant mothers receiving care in Mexico City. A total of 695 pregnant adults and 322 pregnant adolescents participated in this study, in which they responded to a questionnaire on nutrition and diet myths, knowledge, and practice during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The myths were examined individually, but for the purposes of statistical analysis, a score was obtained. We compared means of variables that could be associated to myth and knowledge scores, then calculated linear and logistical regressions. Forty-six percent of participants had below the mean myth scores. Ninety-two percent of participants had a knowledge score below the mean. Age (β = 0.025, SE 0.007, 95% CI 0.011–0.040, p = 0.001) and years of education (β = 0.166, SE 0.024, 95% CI 0.119–0.213, p = 0.001) explained the myth’s score, while age explained the knowledge score (β = 0.011, SE 0.020, 95% CI −0.032–−0.008, p = 0.002). We found that although most women reported not believing in the myths, they acted on them. The probability of practicing such myths as “You must eat for two during pregnancy” was associated with being an adolescent (OR 1.76, p = 0.001) and being married (OR 1.47, p = 0.007), “Not satisfying cravings leave a mark on the infant’s body” with being adolescent (OR 1.59, p = 0.003) and low socioeconomic level (OR 1.41, p = 0.038), “A frightened or angry mother should not nurse her baby” with being adult (OR 2.61, p = 0.004), and “Drinking atole or beer enhances breast milk production” with being single (OR 2.07, p = 0.001). The probability of not acting on some knowledge was associated with being an adolescent (p ≤ 0.003) and having a high school education or below (p ≤ 0.046). Almost all of our participants held at least one myth about nutrition and diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding; younger participants showed a higher frequency of holding myths. Years of schooling and age were associated with acting on myths and not acting on correct knowledge.

Abstract:

Owners are sometimes confused or misinformed about nutritional facts pertaining to pet foods, and three common nutritional myths have been propagated in the popular press. The first myth is that meat by-products are of inferior quality compared to whole meat. The second myth is that feeding trials are unnecessary, and the third myth is that pet food preservatives are bad. This paper examines the known facts related to these three myths and discusses the importance of food trials and the different classes and forms of antioxidants used in pet foods.

Abstract:

The aim of this research is to apply L.N. Gumilev’s theory of ethnogenesis and A.F. Losev’s philosophical doc-trine on myth to modern political culture. The essential aspects of the political myth as an invariant of the ethnic myths are analyzed in the article; the ethnic myth itself is intepreted as an integral component of the ethnic mentality and spiritual life of the ethnos. The results of the study show that in modern political reality there are a number of myths and “pseudo-myths” that play a significant role in world politics. The varieties of these political myths are examined, which represent specific transformations of traditional myths. Artificial “pseudo-myths” are revealed as a result of political technologies and socio-political construction, which are essential in modern political reality. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of “pseudo-myths” created for political quasi-ethnicities forming in today’s globalized and individualized society, where traditional ethnic ties are breaking down or weakening. The further political development of individual ethnicities, nations, and humanity as a whole will depend on which myths define their current activities and prospective survival programs.

Abstract:

Myth and contra myth always exist in human beings life. Hence, both of them also exist in literary work. The existence of myths and contra myths in literary work can always be freedom or concerned. In the two short stories “Numbai” and “Lukah yang Tergantung di Dinding”, the myths are also presented by the authors and are attempted to be freedom by the new myths or contra myths. By applying structural analysis, the intrinsic elements of the myth and contra myth will be discovered. In these two short stories, the myths were presented from the beginning of the story and each of intrinsic elements supports the existence of myths. The myths are strengthened by the accidents that undergone by the main characters, as the agent who destroys myth. The meanings that can be taken from these two short stories are children must obey their parents.AbstrakMitos dan kontramitos selalu ada dalam kehidupan manusia. Karena itu, mitos dan kontramitos juga hadir dalam karya sastra. Kehadiran mitos dan kontramitos dalam karya selalu untuk dibebaskan atau dikukuhkan. Pada cerpen “Numbai” dan “Lukah yang Tergantung di Dinding”, mitos juga ditampilkan oleh pengarang dan dicoba untuk dihancurkan dengan mitos baru atau kontramitos. Melalui analisis struktural, kehadiran mitos dan kontramitos pada setiap unsur intrinsik dapat diketahui. Pada dua cerpen ini, mitos telah ditampilkan mulai dari awal cerita dan setiap unsur intrinsik mendukung kehadiran mitos. Mitos dikukuhkan dengan kemalangan yang menimpa tokoh utama, sebagai agen pendobrak mitos. Makna yang diperoleh dari dua cerpen ini adalah seorang anak wajib patuh pada orang tuanya.

Abstract:

Indonesia has a new sociological trend about dialectical reconciliations between counter-myths and dominant myths and vice versa (macro-level), and it is reflected semiotically in scenes in three Indonesian horror movies, like Pengabdi Setan, Suzanna Bernapas Dalam Kubur, and Sebelum Iblis Menjemput (micro-level). Sometimes the scenes (in horror movies) contain the collisions between counter-myths and dominant myths (and vice versa), or the scenes show the dialectical reconciliations between both myths. Therefore, this study aims to analyse how the collisions between dominant myths and counter-myths and vice versa are described in three Indonesian horror movies. Sociologically, the semiotic examination shows the trend of the last two types of dialectical reconciliations between Islamic teachings and adultery and between Islamic teachings and corrupt practices, since the first two reconciliations have been explained in another manuscript. Also, there are four motives why people adopt counter-myths, like (1) the treasure (harta), (2) the political position (takhta), (3) the romance (asmara), and (4) the sexual pleasure (kesenangan seksual). In contrast, there are two motives why people go back to re-adopting dominant myths, like (1) regret (penyesalan) and (2) safety (keamanan). Moreover, the study discusses the draft of the new Postmillennial Gothic, which rehabilitates and beautifies Indonesian demonic characters to fight criminals who practice the dialectical reconciliation between dominant myth and counter-myth. Finally, it is possible to apply this idea in Indonesia because there are cultural and sociological situations that support its implementation. Keywords: Counter-myth, dominant myth, dialectical reconciliations, film model, semiotics.

Abstract:

This thesis presents, in a newly edited and annotated form, a collection of Maori language texts recorded by the Rev. J. F. H. Wohlers in the far south of the South Island of New Zealand in approximately 1850. There are introductory analyses and translations. A general introduction discusses the relationships which exist between these narratives and comparable narratives existing in the North Island, and elsewhere in Polynesia. The Rev. J. F. H. Wohlers was a German Lutheran missionary who arrived on Ruapuke Island in Foveaux Strait in 1844, and lived there until his death in 1885. He recorded traditions which were related to him by the local Waitaha/Kāti Māmoe/Kāi Tahu people. They provide the main record of South Island mythology to have survived, and they are also one of the most important collections of narratives concerning traditional Maori lore and religious traditions in the country as a whole. Although Wohlers made certain corrections to make the texts conform to perceived linguistic norms, in vocabulary and idiom these narratives reveal distinctive South Island dialectal forms. When themes and motifs in these narratives are compared with related material from other parts of Polynesia, much can be discovered about their meanings, and the processes of oral transmission which have shaped and preserved them. In content, this collection contains myths about the earliest ancestors (Rangi and Papa and their children), who formed the earth and sky, and created life on earth and the natural phenomena and resources necessary to sustain life. Other narratives tell of the acquisition by humankind of useful or necessary arts or activities, and the origins of the correct rituals for such activities as farming, fishing and taking revenge on enemies. Others are stories of adventurous encounters with witches and monsters. Many of these traditions are unique to this collection.

Abstract:

This article presents the definition of myth as one of the important components of ethnic culture. Some ancient mythical systems are analyzed: Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Indian, Greek, Roman. It is found that in later historical epochs, with the systematization and recognition of the value of scientific knowledge, the merit of the myth of exemplifying reality becomes more and more plausible, remaining as a value at the level of aesthetic exercise. All world and national religions, as institutional exponents of some myths to the detriment of others, have had a confrontation with mythological phenomena. It is emphasized that through the existence of myths, the human being has managed to evolve. With the help of myths, man maintains his origin. Through the presence of myths the human being is organized in society. It is mentioned that myth is not only the first form of culture, but also man’s change of the spiritual life, which is preserved even when the myth loses its absolute importance. Myth is the oldest system of values. Thus, culture evolves from myth to knowledge, from imagination to law.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree of acceptance of psychological myths in undergraduate students in Health Sciences. Our results showed that first-year Psychology students believed more myths than did the other first-year Health Sciences students (Medicine, Dentistry, and Optics and Optometry). Third-year Psychology students drastically reduced their beliefs in myths in comparison with first-year Psychology students (Cohen’s d=1.7). Overall, we found a gender effect, being women less gullible than men in believing in myths. Age did not account for differences in myth acceptance. All in all, these results suggest that beginning Psychology students seem to accept more myths than other first-year Health Sciences students regarding psychological misconceptions. However, college exposure in Psychology students may favor critical thinking by diminishing myth beliefs.

Abstract:

The question of myth in literature, when looking at modern texts that rework ancient myths, increasingly becomes a question of how myth is read. This involves questions such as how the myths were evaluated and edited by the authors, in what way the various functions of myth are selected, incorporated, and transformed in the literary adaptations of myth, how the reservoir of myth was instrumentalized, and, finally, what strategy the authors use in adapting and transforming myth. In the following paper, I address these questions against the background of Hans Blumenberg’s theory of myth, using Dea Loher’s drama Manhattan Medea as an example.
