Vol. 2 No. 20 (2008): Rituales y mitologías
In the hermeneutic perspective of semiotics, which inquires through discourse, rite and myth appear as two faces of the same symbolic process; consequently, the essential is its intersemioticity. Speaking of “mythical discourse” is speaking of the way any discourse becomes discourse, since mythical discourse produces sense that is objectified in both, myth and religion, in architecture and plastic arts, and in films and history.
This release offers some approximations to the mythical discourse from which various methods derive for the interpretation, with scientific vocation, of that phenomena that are rites and myths.
