Abstract

CASABONA, Victoria I.. Myths revisited: myths production and morality. Cuad. Fac. Humanid. Cienc. Soc., Univ. Nac. Jujuy [online]. 2000, n.13, pp.21-34. ISSN 1668-8104.

This work casts an anthropological view over the field of morality in today's society. I base myself on the Malinowskian conception, disagreeing with those thesis which consider mythic production to belong only to ''primitive'' peoples. I state that today's ''moral'' crisis -as defined by common sense- is a sign of a change in the whole social order, where moral has its own shaping role, which in no way is over determined by the real-material level. To inquiry about some of the meanings of this change, I examine three Sofocle's tragedies: Oedipus of Thebes, Oedipus in Colona and Antigona. My hypothesis states that the main ''hard mythical knots'' of our civilization are suffering an important transformation process, evident in the sociopolitical order.
