Abstract

Abstract: In this article I explore how superhero tales can be used in the university classroom to help students think about the changing nature of Greek myth and narrative. In doing so I examine a handful of Batman tales in light of Walter Burkert’s ideas about myth. Applying these concepts to such tales allows students to get a better sense of how stories can adapt over time to their audiences. I conclude by offering practical suggestions on how to introduce this topic into the classroom as a fun and contemporary hook to get students thinking about how myth functions in the world, both ancient and modern.

将超级英雄故事引入课堂:希腊神话与故事性质的变化
摘要:在这篇文章中,我探讨了如何在大学课堂上利用超级英雄故事来帮助学生思考希腊神话和叙事不断变化的本质。在此过程中,我根据沃尔特-伯克特关于神话的观点研究了一些蝙蝠侠故事。将这些概念应用到这些故事中,可以让学生更好地了解故事是如何随着时间的推移而适应其受众的。最后,我就如何将这一话题引入课堂提出了实用的建议,以此作为一个有趣而现代的钩子,让学生思考神话如何在古今中外的世界中发挥作用。
