Dossier 04 — Anthropology and communication: myths, rituals and narratives
Myths, rituals and narratives are the channels through which a culture transmits its purpose. When that transmission fragments, the collective bond erodes: an anthropological validation of ISHEA.
This dossier examines polarization, digital disinformation, and collective action through three sociological cases: Trump’s populism, TikTok’s algorithmic echo chambers, and the GameStop financial swarm. Each illustrates how Transmission (T) fragmentation and cognitive tension disrupt collective purpose, validating ISHEA in contemporary social systems.
