NARRATIVE CONVENTIONS IN MYTH: THE CAVE OF THE MAGIC RING

Wendy Doniger is a Professor of the History of Religions at the University of Chicago and one of the most important interpreters of myth. In this Fourth Annual Ninian Smart Memorial Lecture at UC Santa Barbara she explores the narrative convention in myth.

Note: For students of film, this is a wonderful lecture about the limiting and liberating dimension of the conventions of narrative and it's relation to myth, stories that speak directly to and about eternal human realities. - José Angel Santana, Ph.D.
