This edition in three volumes of Mythopoetics: The Symbolic Construction of Human Identity, maintains basically the structure and contents of its Spanish counterpart in one volume. The present one, Mythic Domain, corresponds, without major amendments or extensions, to the first part of Mitopoética. It is a reflection on the general problems faced by the traditional science of mythology, exposing their scope and limitations (?) My definition of myth extends the traditional notions, not only including elements of what has been called logos, but considering myth, or better, mythical action, as a wider process of human communication in which the identity of a group is mimetically constructed in relation to the general experience of survival.
