Descriere: Mito: relato explicativo, simbolico y dinamico, de uno o varios acontecimientos extraordinarios personales con referente trascendente, que carece en principio de testimonio historico, se compone de una serie de elementos invariantes reducibles a temas y sometidos a crisis, que presenta un caracter conflictivo, emotivo, funcional, ritual y remite siempre a una cosmogonia o a una escatologia absolutas, particulares o universales. Esta definicion, general, fria e indeterminada, requiere un tiempo, un espacio, y sobre todo una conciencia que la viva. El mito no es un constructo mental ajeno a las vicisitudes socioculturales: lleva marcada en su piel y sus entranas la huella de cada individuo y sociedad que lo vio nacer; pero tambien sabe adaptarse a las condiciones del nuevo tiempo que lo acoge. Mitos de hoy narra esa tension del mito por mantenerse vivo en el terreno, aparentemente inhospito, de un mundo desenganado. La Mitocritica Cultural, aqui puesta en practica, combina las herramientas tradicionales de la mitocritica con factores no considerados sistematicamente por la critica precedente: la globalizacion, la inmanencia y el consumismo. Ofrece asi una modesta contribucion a la tarea de identificar, analizar y sintetizar la tipologia de las manifestaciones del mito en la literatura, las artes y los medios de comunicacion contemporaneos. Asi sera mas facil comprendernos a nosotros mismos en este mundo desconcertante. Jose Manuel Losada (Universidad Complutense), es fundador y editor de Amaltea.
