  Abstract:  The Mythological Body as an Expression of the Misfit in Peer Gynt. The aim of this paper is to provide an analysis of the corporeal topos of the misfit, as it is configured in the New Materialism Theory, by focusing on Henrik Ibsen’s play Peer Gynt. Therefore, the study sets forward the concept of „mythological body” and will focus neither on the interpretation of the archetypes, nor on the identification of the mythological patterns in Ibsen’s play, but on the way in which the characters, as particular shapes of the mythological models, experience the misfit.

Keywords: Mythological Body, New Materialisms, Misfit, Corporeality, Archetype
