Panel Spotlight: Modern Myths

Modern Myths Panel:
What are our modern myths? Do
comics qualify? Do TV Shows, or Movies? for example: Star Trek, Game of
Thrones, Babylon 5, Star Wars, Firefly, Handmaid’s Tale, All in the
Family, M.A.S.H, Charmed, LoTR, Harry Potter. To decide we must
determine what a myth is, and what is its function. Which stories do you
think serve our culture as modern myths? What heroes? Spiderman,
Superman, Dorothy Gale, and Alice? What roles to these tales play in
forming our world views?
