In writing my lecture notes for Friday on Joseph Campbell’s The Power of Myth (specifically, the section called “The First Storytellers") I have been able to incorporate:

--William Wordsworth’s Ode: Intimations of Immortality
--Carl Jung
--the collective unconscious
--Judaism
--Buddhism
--death rituals
--the Blackfoot Indians
--hunting rituals
--animal consumption in contemporary culture
--menstruation
--female genital cutting
--William Gibson and his novel Neuromancer
--cyberspace
--science fiction

Fun!  (I know, I know… I’m a geek.)
