Second meeting - Minutes.

Bibliotherapy is rejected, main topic shall be Mythology in Modern culture
  • too broad, reduced to Singaporean culture.

A need for critical readings, (function of myths) , elements of myths, what functions do Myths serve in society and what , exactly, constitutes a story as a myth?

  1. Ghost story / Myth - Conduct oral interviews.


Field research – Other option is to do ghost stories . Elements of ghost stories (eg. Gothic_) what function do they have?


Authenticity to collecting ghost stories, oral histories etc. Pen them down – lot of things are lost if they are not recorded , etc.Myth or Ghost Story? Where is the gothic element? What are oral histories? Next stage- collection of stories via interview with schoolmates and family etc. Talk to older audience ( longer histories etc.) Elements of culture in these stories. EG. MIRROR GHOST. Elab . How best to put it on paper? Embellishment and accuracy – how? Can we write? Source for someone who can write well. Find at all costs , etc. 4 people is necessary.
