Journal Article
Myths of Femininity in American Gods
2020
Overview
This article explores the way in which the TV show American Gods represents the myths of femininity and how they fit in the digital format, together with the implications of such a dynamic. It is proposed that the TV show recreates the feminine myth in a more successful way--in comparison with the homonymous book on which it is based--thanks to the advantage provided by the discussion about women in the hypermodern era through an equally hypermodern product, the television series. Thus, we find that feminine myths are typologically a contemporary reformulation of the ancient cyclic and lunar myths and that this representation is a statement of the importance of the participation of women in the contemporary world. Keywords: Myth criticism, female agency, American Gods, Gaiman, hypermodernity, cyclic myths.
