Narratives produce the ties that bind us. They create community, eliminate contingency and anchor us in being. And yet in our contemporary information society, where everything has become arbitrary and random, storytelling becomes storyselling and narratives lose their binding force.  Whereas narratives create community, storytelling brings forth only a fleeting community – the community of consumers.

Byung-Chul Han’s critique of the infosphere highlights the price we are paying for our growing pre...

Untrammelled neoliberalism and the inexorable force of production have produced a 21st century crisis of community: a narcissistic cult of authenticity and mass turning-inward are among the pathologies engendered by it.
