The Role of Mythology in Cultural Identity and Society

This exam focuses on the function and significance of mythology in shaping cultural identity across diverse societies. It will assess knowledge relating to various mythological frameworks and their interpretative lenses.

Mythology serves as a crucial element in understanding the narratives that define cultural heritages. The examination of these narratives provides insights into societal values, norms, and collective memory, contributing to the broader academic discourse in cultural studies.

Participants will be evaluated on their ability to articulate the theoretical implications of mythology and its application in societal contexts, as well as their understanding of key texts and their relevance.

The exam may also address potential interdisciplinary connections between mythology and other fields such as anthropology, literature, and history, thereby enriching the examination of cultural narratives.
