La última parte de este libro es la presentación de un modelo alternativo al del famoso viaje del héroe de Joseph Campbell, en el cual consideré narrativas no hegemónicas, periféricas y antiheroicas en las que los protagonistas no son ni quieren o pueden ser héroes, pero, aun así, tienen que enfrentar complicadas misiones para el beneficio propio o de otros. Aunque, en algunos casos, sus misiones son altruistas o sus métodos son nobles, en todos la sensación final es de amargura y decepción. Se trata de una narrativa del desencanto que frustra la posibilidad del heroísmo. En el final del capítulo se presenta el análisis del modelo en las películas de la muestra y la posibilidad de aplicar en cinematografías diferentes a la colombiana.

This chapter analyses the 2010 videogame Alan Wake, a narrative based videogame that makes frequent use of intertextuality. As well as using contemporary examples, the game also uses traditional international folklore in its narrative, with the antagonist Barbara Jagger being recognisable as the Russian folk tale character Baba Yaga, for example. Using the concepts proposed and elucidated by Vladimir Propp, Joseph Campbell, the chapter will first establish that the videogame offers a remediation of several traditional mythical narratives in one contemporary videogame, before going on to use the classifications found in The Morphology of the Folktale and The Hero with a Thousand Faces to place this videogame within the folklore and mythical tradition. It will also serve to establish whether these classifications are suitable for the narratives found in videogames, and if they depart from them, where the scholar needs to establish new concepts and definitions for these traditional classifications.
