| book description |

Mythen des Alltags . Was haben Marilyn Monroe, Asterix, die Alpen und Ewige Jugend gemeinsam? Sie alle gehören zu den modernen Mythen. Moderne Mythen unterscheiden sich in vielem nicht von den klassischen: Sie sind zugleich stetig und wandelbar, sie schaffen kollektive Identität, stiften Sinn, deuten die Welt und verwandeln Widersprüchliches in scheinbar Eindeutiges. Das Lexikon versammelt erstmals exemplarisch moderne Mythen aus dem Zeitraum des 19. bis 21. Jahrhunderts. In über 120 Artikeln werden Personen (Marilyn Monroe, Goethe und Schiller), Figuren (Asterix, Pippi Langstrumpf), Ereignisse (68er-Bewegung), Orte (Alpen, Rhein) und Konzepte (Fortschritt, Ewige Jugend) in ihrer mythischen Qualität und ihren Deutungszusammenhängen vorgestellt.
