- Description
- The essays focus upon popular culture as it is informed by ancient and current mythic images, narratives, personalities, icons and archetypes. Topics include: the cult status of the serial sex killer: sexual murder as a contemporary form of religious sacrifice: pornography as an everyday narrative underlying not only sexism, but also racism, homophobia, and militarism: the relation of incest to nuclearism: pornography and the sacred: cyborg myth: and subtextual presence of ancient goddess figures in contemporary narratives, including that of Princess Diana.
