Today's media, cinema and TV screens are host to new manifestations of myth, their modes of storytelling radically transformed from those of ancient Greece. They present us with narratives of contemporary customs and belief systems: our modern-day myths. Djoymi Baker's insightful study argues that the tools of transmedia merchandising and promotional material shape viewers' experiences of the hit television series Star Trek, to reinforce the mythology of the gargantuan franchise. Media marketing utilises the show's method of recycling the narratives of classical heritage, yet it also looks forward to the future. In this way, it reminds consumers of the Star Trek story's ongoing centrality within popular culture, whether in the form of the original 1960s series, the later additions such as Voyager and Discovery or J. J. Abrams' `reboot' films. Chapters examine how oral and literary traditions have influenced the series structure and its commercial image, how the cosmological role of humanity and the Earth are explored in title sequences across various Star Trek media platforms, and the multi-faceted way in which Internet, video game and event spin-offs create rituals to consolidate the space opera's fan base. In her afterword to this new edition, Baker extends her analysis to the recently released Star Trek: Short Treks (2018-), Star Trek: Picard (2020-), and Star Trek: Lower Decks (2020-), as well as the upcoming Star Trek: Strange New World. In doing so, she underscores the continuing significance of myth in this unprecedented era of expansion for the entire Star Trek enterprise.

This study addresses itself to the need for stories and myths in the lives of modem humans. Myth is seen as an organizing framework upon which the facts of our daily existence are organized into a psychologically meaningful narrative. Western society has chosen science as its organizing paradigm, driving mythic awareness into the collective unconscious. Jungian theory provides an understanding of the compensatory nature of the unconscious and of the ability of myth to offset the over-valuation of science. Science fiction serves the function of a modem myth, helping to balance and bridge the often-competing perspectives of science and myth. Science fiction builds upon science as a familiar and trusted paradigm, allowing us to range from this base into mythic areas that reconnect with the ancient energies of the archetypes. Jungian theory suggests that if opposites are held in tension long enough, a transcendence occurs in which the opposites are combined into a new paradigm which values each pole as an integral part of the greater whole. In this theoretical study I used the tool of Joseph Campbell's hero's journey to explore the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) as a modem myth. The series as a whole was examined for com ensatory psychological meanings. Four major characters representing the machine, the feminine human, the masculine human, and the god were examined archetypally. The model of the crew collectively as archetypal Hero emerged as a major theme, providing balance to the stereotypic Western notion of the lone hero on a solitary journey. TNG emerged as providing images of a human future in which science and myth are more integrated. Finally, the concept of the crew as Hero gave rise to a theoretical model for analytical work with projections.
