The second issue of Anthropology & Materialism explores the effects of the mythical in modern societies. By following the path of social researchers like Walter Benjamin, Susan Buck-Morss, Roger Caillois, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari and Jacques Rancière we try to understand how the mythical is embedded in modern society and its impact on knowledge, politics and everyday experience.
