The Crisis of Narrative. How Neoliberalism Turned Narratives into Storytelling
In this essay, Byung-Chul Han analyzes the modern person surrounded by endless narratives, stories, and tales. However, despite this storm of meanings around us, we seem to have lost the ability to feel and understand true narrative — and found... ourselves in a ‘post-narrative world’. The digital society is completely subordinate to information, and with each passing day, the process of ‘denarrativization’ accelerates. The flow of information, which is essentially a raging ocean of data, ‘chokes the spirit’ of the story. Even though we exchange information and produce it faster than ever, online and offline, ‘we no longer tell each other stories. We publish, share, and like’.
