029 - Stories & Myths in Culture

from Illegitimate Scholar · host Samuel Urban

In this episode I discuss myths and stories of different cultures, such as origin stories and heroic tales. I discuss how the traits that are encouraged and traits that are discouraged reflect the values of that story's society. Formats of stories are compared, including cave paintings, oral traditions, Roman plays, and modern American movies. These differing formats are also reflective of technology and, by extension, culture. I discuss a few examples of cultural stories and how those stories reflect their own cultures and changed over time. At the end I discuss the significance of Hollywood movies, how they've changed over the last few decades and what it means that "black" actors are playing "white" characters. The stories we tell are important. #podcast #history #anthropology #culturalanthropology #myths #cultural #polynesian #iliad #ancientgreece #classicalera #stories #mulan #hollywood #culturewars #thelittlemermaidDiscord: https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/IllegitimateScholarAudio Podcast: https://pod.link/1650280020 Twitter.com: https://twitter.com/ill_scholarYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRH77S0fVLmAZU4xLnAxuvw
