description: Using a cultural studies approach to deal with certain classical myths and the way they inform psychoanalytic theory, historical experience, elite culture, popular culture and everyday life, this book follows the 'myth model' to show the mythic content of many elite and popular culture texts. Berger explores diverse topics such as the Oedipus Myth, James Bond, Star Wars, and fairy tales. Palgrave Pivot publishes peer-reviewed research at lengths between the journal article and monograph. Liberating scholarship from the straightjacket of traditional formats, Palgrave Pivot allows works to be published in the format and length best suited to the work itself, within 12 weeks of manuscript acceptance.
