It appeared as a potential synthesis between the (mostly) rationalistic French structuralism and the religious studies approach to mythical patterns in literary works. As addressed by myth criticism, the core dilemma of literary studies and more widely of humanities is the following: how to define their objectives and find the most "appropriate" methods in dealing with materials that are mainly "non-rational" in their nature, connected to the deeper layers of human psyche, human existence and creativity, and manifested through legends, archetypes and symbols. As encountered mainly in Spain, but also in Belgium and France, the contemporary, "new" myth criticism recognizes the need for interdisciplinarity and the inclusion of the new forms of artistic endeavors in connection to the new media. Nevertheless, the basic question remains open, about the best adapted method, scientific or less rational, for an appropriate analysis of myths in contemporary arts and more particularly in literatureMitokritika se je kot ena izmed smeri v sodobni literarni teoriji oblikovala v Franciji predvsem po zaslugi antropologa Gilberta Duranda in njegovega ključnega dela Les structures anthropologiques de l'imaginaire (1969). Pojavila se je kot sinteza med pretežno racionalistično usmerjenim strukturalizmom in religiološkimi obravnavami mitološke tradicije v literarnih delih. Osnovna dilema, ki jo je poglobljeno načela mitokritika, zadeva jedro literarnih ali širših humanističnih ved, se pravi spraševanje o ciljih in "primernih" metodah za obdelavo gradiva, ki je v svoji zasnovi pretežno "neracionalno", povezano z globljimi sferami človeške biti, bivanja in ustvarjalnosti, in se torej udejanja s pomočjo legend, arhetipov in simbolov. Današnja, "nova" mitokritika, ki jo srečujemo predvsem v Španiji pa tudi v Belgiji in Franciji, se zaveda nujnega odpiranja k interdisciplinarnosti in novim oblikam umetniškega izražanja, ki jih pogojujejo sodobni tehnološki dosežki. Odprto pa ostaja vprašanje znanstvene (bolj ali manj racionalistično usmerjene) metode, s katero je mogoče najustrezneje analizirati mite v sodobni umetnosti in še posebej v literaturiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko društvo za primerjalno književnost
