Preferred term

mythology  

Definition

  • Mythology is a wide-ranging area of research that focuses on the development of individual identity, making the cosmos intelligible, social understanding as a collective experience, spirituality, the concept of birth and death, cultural awareness, and the relationships between these entities. It was in the 1920s that the ethnographic work of James Frazier and Joseph Campbell provided the foundational understanding of these elements and the current ideas in the field.
