Summary

The radical politics of storytelling

Pointing beyond common worries about misinformation and fake news, Mythocracy focuses on the attention economy. Through Spinoza and Denis Diderot, Paul Ricoeur and Francesca Poletta, Wu Ming and Sun Ra, Citton investigates the attention economy. Citton here brilliantly shows that the Left has underestimated the power of myth, abandoning it to reactionary political movements. The time has come, argues Citton, to theorize and practice an empowering circulation of myths.
