Hecto­corns offer behemoths poison pills, whales take fledglings to the moon, ­disappear into dark pools, and form fraudulent daisy chains with one another. This book examines slang terms used by traders and other financial profes­sionals, transporting us to a landscape both real and supernatural. Between what these terms mean and the ecological world they refer to, Benjaminsen and Casey detect a rich mythological history. Unpacking this seductive language reveals the absurd (super)natural ‘fictions’ that materially and violently shape our worldly ecology.Eline Benjaminsen is an artist making lens-based, follow-the-money narratives. Dayna Casey is an artistic researcher and designer essaying, narrating and composing visual languages. Amy Bride is a PhD in Gothic Finance. Sami Hammana is an artist and writer. Marie Storli is a journalist and economist. Alexis Wright is a Gulf of Carpentaria novelist.\nContributions by: Amy Bride, Sami Hammana, Marie Storli, and Alexis Wright\nDesigned by Dayna CaseyCo-publisher: Page Not Found\nSoftcover \/ Pages: 344 pp. \/ Publish date: 2025 \/ Dimensions: 14 cm x 22 cm \/ ISBN: 9783959058490","brand":"Well Read","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61080825659722,"sku":"ref1442","price":31.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/6496\/0842\/files\/20260213-1746_007_ecdbd225-3a1e-4729-8fc1-b31f4755194e.jpg?v=1772569629","url":"https:\/\/wellread.pt\/products\/collapsed-mythologies-a-geofinancial-atlas","provider":"Well Read","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
