| Summary: | Will there be a more relevant basis for the literary myth than figurative arts? Far from being no more than mere illustrations, they endow this “other” text with a novel expression, one that invites clarification of any minor details overlooked in the literary ‘version’. Such has been the role of iconography at the service of mythology… The inter-arts, which assert themselves in the field of comparative studies as an essential vehicle for a permanent expansion and ‘modernisation’ of myth, tend to favour, as non-literary means of expression, the interactive games, practising a, sometimes, brutal syncretism, and amalgamating myhthical heterogeneous substrata. One wonders whether the specificity of literature, “tout court”, would not tend to slowly vanish, were it not for this globalisation of culture and this universalisation of a plural language? |
