Books by Stanley Keleman • Myth & The Body: A Colloquy with Joseph Campbell A review from Somatics Journal A review by Grover E. Criswell A review by Dr. John Conger In 1973, two pioneers in their respective fields---Stanley Keleman and Joseph Campbell---began to hold what would be fourteen annual seminars, to trade their thoughts on the subject of mythology and the body. This recently published book, Myth & the Body, is based largely on the transcriptions from these years of taped seminars. Campbell and Keleman shared the belief that myths describe the experiences of the body and, in fact, are metaphors for internal body states. Stanley Keleman says in the introduction, "Myths serve a practical function. They enable people to organize the experience of their own bodies. Myths are a collective dream of a culture and are no different than a personal dream." Campbell, America's first comparative mythologist, asks, "Where do myths come from?" He views them as products of the human imagination and grounded in the energies of the body. Campbell retells the story of Parsifal, the medieval legend, as a somatic narrative of a youth from adolescence to mature adulthood. Myths educate us about how to tell our stories to others and how to understand the experiences that make a life. Whether your interest lies in psychology or mythology--or both--you are sure to be fascinated by the connections forged by two original and celebrated thinkers.
