No one has yet to determine what a story can do. Some are
offended by the “myths” that obscure;
others denounce “the histories” that we recount; others still believe in
that it is enough to find the good story that would lead the donkeys to polls,
the sheep to the market, and the ants to their work. More than these
denunciations or formulas, this book proposes an interrogation of the power of
stories, doubled by a narrative on the mythic nature of power: mythocracy.
