Narrative webs: Aracne, Anansi and Spiderman

Abstract

In the space of this reflection it was sought to retrace an arch that values the geneses of three narratives in their berths and the common plots that justify their resumption currently, in the globalized world. Thus one revitalizes the examination of the mediating routes and, in exchange, one values the unquestionable similarity of three legends: a Greek one; another African one; and an Anglo-Saxon one. All of them concern spiders, webs and narrative threads. They also address the identification of the meaning of the spider web in the plot itself, or how the telling of the story is part of the actual narrative.
