mythopoesis

Description

Mythopoesis is the ritual of adorning reality with the fabric of fiction, where rulers and masses collude in an endless ovation. From the origin of peoples to corporate branding, it tests the art of cloaking emptiness in the robes called history. Storytellers parade bizarre gods and heroic sagas while the audience silences doubt with applause. Its true merit lies in weaving falsehoods more pleasing to the ear than truth.

Definitions

• The art of using more flamboyant characters and plots than reality to camouflage collective ignorance.
• A production technique that masquerades as sacred but actually worships the creator’s convenience and vested interests through substituted deities.
• A mechanism that fills historical voids with fiction, constructing an infinite loop from ‘once upon a time’ to ‘forever after’.
• An institution that simultaneously shapes group identity and repression, eradicating any room for doubt.
• A theatre that wraps critical thought in ethnographic staging, elevating the pursuit of truth into ritual.
• The ultimate form of trust creation woven jointly by politicians and marketers.
• A commerce that covers reality’s flaws with lavish mythological bindings and supplies it as a brand to future generations.
