Collapsed Mythologies: A Geofinancial Atlas

The realm of finance has its own eco-logics. 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.
