Abstract

ABSTRACT After defining the term ?myth?, a model is elaborated in which a myth is tied to psychoanalytic phenomena, historical events, elite culture, popular culture and everyday life. Ideas Americans have about themselves and American culture are contrasted with ideas American have about ?old? countries, motherlands and fatherlands. The article ends with a discussion of genres and the myths to which they are connected
