Joseph Campbell's - Hero's Journey
This presentation explains the structure of a hero's journey explained in Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces, using examples from popular films.
The Narrative Theory
Vladimir Propp's narrative theory proposes that characters fall into seven types: hero, villain, donor, helper, victim, dispatcher, and false hero. Some characters may encompass multiple types. Tzventan Todorov's theory suggests that conventional narratives follow a five-stage structure: establishing equilibrium, disrupting equilibrium, recognizing the disruption, attempting to repair the disruption, and reinstating equilibrium. The document then provides examples of how these theories apply to the plot and teaser trailer of a horror film about teens entering an abandoned building.
Types of Conflict
This document discusses the six main types of conflict that can occur in stories: person vs. person, person vs. self, person vs. society, person vs. nature, person vs. supernatural, and person vs. technology. Each conflict type is defined and an example is provided. The document also provides examples of identifying the antagonist and conflict type for different story scenarios.
Heros journey explained
The document summarizes the typical stages of the hero's journey monomyth structure as described by Joseph Campbell, including the ordinary world, call to adventure, refusal of the call, meeting with the mentor, crossing the threshold, tests and trials, supreme ordeal, reward, flight, resurrection, and return with elixir. Key elements are presented for each stage, such as confronting fear and committing to the quest, receiving guidance from allies, facing dangers and overcoming the greatest challenge, claiming a reward or treasure, being pursued on the road back, undergoing transformation, and bringing lessons learned back to the ordinary world. Examples are provided from stories like Star Wars, The Wizard of Oz, and Indiana Jones.

Four types of internal and external conflict in Literature
The document discusses four main types of conflicts that are often present in literature:
1) Person vs. Self, which involves a character wrestling with an internal decision or dilemma.
2) Person vs. Person, where the protagonist and antagonist directly oppose each other, attempting to outdo or outsmart the other.
3) Person vs. Nature, where characters struggle against external environmental forces like weather events or isolated locations.
4) Person vs. Society, where the protagonist is at odds with a particular social ideology or group.
Conflict
The document discusses different types of conflicts that can occur in stories: external conflicts which are struggles between a character and an outside force like man vs. man, man vs. nature, or man vs. society, and internal conflicts which are struggles within a character's own mind known as man vs. self. Examples are given of stories that feature each type of conflict, such as The Lion King showcasing man vs. man and Twister showcasing man vs. nature. Conflict is described as an essential part of any plot.

Quote Integration Help
This document provides guidance on properly integrating sources into academic writing. It emphasizes introducing quotes with context, commenting on the relevance of quotes, and ensuring the author's own voice remains prominent. Quotes should be trimmed to the most essential parts and introduce new information beyond simple summaries. Sources should be cited respectfully without plagiarizing direct text or ideas from others. The overall message is that writers should curate information from sources and have a conversation that guides the reader, rather than just inserting external quotes and references.

The heros journey
The Hero's Journey follows a common pattern of separation, initiation, and return. During the separation, a hero receives a call to adventure that disrupts their ordinary world. They must cross a threshold into the unknown, where they may encounter guardians and helpers. In the initiation, the hero faces challenges, temptations, and their greatest fear in an abyss, which leads to a transformation. They gain a revelation and atonement with their new self before returning home with experience and gifts to share.

Hero's Journey Introduction
Joseph Campbell studied myths and legends from around the world and discovered that heroes in these stories all experienced similar journeys. He described this recurring archetype as "The Hero's Journey," which involves 12 stages: the hero leaves their ordinary world after receiving a call to adventure, crosses a threshold into an unknown world of trials and temptations, faces their greatest challenge/enemy in an ordeal, overcomes a crisis, receives a reward, and returns home a changed person who can navigate both worlds.
Section a narrative worksheet

Hero_Journey.pdf
The document discusses story structure and the hero's journey archetype. It explains that stories are driven by conflict, from the introduction of a problem or obstacle for the protagonist in the exposition, to the climax where the conflict peaks and is resolved. The hero's journey follows a 12-stage pattern that moves the protagonist from their ordinary world through a call to adventure, trials and tests, and an ultimate crisis before achieving a reward upon their return. Both frameworks illustrate how stories are propelled by the protagonist's transition as they work to resolve a conflict or achieve a goal.
G325 narrative theory
This document provides an overview of several narrative theories including:
- Vladimir Propp's character archetypes which identified 8 common character types.
- Tzvetan Todorov's 3 act structure of equilibrium, disruption, and new equilibrium.
- Claude Levi-Strauss' concept of binary oppositions that create conflict and drama.
- Christopher Vogler's model of the hero's journey which outlines the typical stages a hero goes through.
Narrative theories
Todorov proposed that all narratives have three basic stages - an initial equilibrium, a disruption to that equilibrium, and a resolution that establishes a new equilibrium. This theory is then demonstrated by summarizing the plots of two movies, 27 Dresses and The Hangover, in three sentences according to Todorov's three stages. Propp studied Russian fairytales and identified eight character archetypes that are often present, including the hero, villain, donor, and princess. His theory is then briefly applied to the characters in Star Wars. Vogler identified 12 stages of the classic hero's journey narrative structure based on his analysis of many films, which became very influential in Hollywood screenwriting.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
