Create a subject index of 52 existing embedded videos with publishers and running times

New page

The '''Video Library''' is a subject index to the recordings embedded in this wiki. Follow an article link to watch the video with its introduction, related reading and sources. The recording links also open the original YouTube upload.

Recordings come from the authors, foundations, universities, museums, public agencies and established educational publishers identified beside each entry. A publisher's authority is relevant to its subject: a weather explanation supplies physical background, while an author's lecture presents that author's account. Neither establishes a universal meaning for an image.

The index covers '''52 embedded recordings''', checked on 7 October 2026. Titles, channels and running times identify the selected uploads. Availability and captions may change.

== Choosing a recording ==
* '''For a first introduction''', begin with [[Metaphor Categories#Video|James Geary on metaphor]] or [[Metaphor in Literature and Creativity#Video|Jane Hirshfield on literary metaphor]].
* '''For an extended theoretical presentation''', try [[Conceptual Blending and Mental Spaces#Video|Mark Turner's university lecture]] or [[Embodied Cognition#Video|George Lakoff on embodied cognition]].
* '''For Campbell speaking about his work''', use the Joseph Campbell Foundation entries below and read the article's context alongside the excerpt.
* '''For a story or image''', choose its subject section, then compare the recording with the article's named sources or editions.

Use the [[Glossary of Metaphor and Meaning|glossary]] for unfamiliar terms and the [[Reading Guide: Routes Through the Wiki#Keep a useful reading record|reading record]] to note a claim, timestamp and question. Introductory talks, archival excerpts and research lectures serve different purposes. A selected video complements the article; it does not replace the cited evidence.

== Joseph Campbell and comparative mythology ==
Most entries in this section are Joseph Campbell Foundation recordings. The British Museum film linked from the Goddess article provides a curator's account of its own subject; it is not a recording of Campbell.
