Book Synopsis Oral Tradition in Cinematic Narrative by : Virginia B. Garrett Cannon
Book excerpt: Oral tradition provides the foundation for the classic, heroic ideal, and this ideological construct has evolved over the centuries: shifting and dislocating society’s accepted perceptions of right/wrong and good/evil. These changes are evident in heroic stories which began as oral tradition, changed into written verse, and transformed into cinematic presentations. This thesis applies a narratological analysis alongside an interdisciplinary lensing to the transformation of the heroic ideal while challenging narratological studies to accept cinematic presentations as valid narratives.
