LEPHT HAND - Myth, Nostalgia, and Liberation: Federico Campagna’s 'Otherworlds: Mediterranean Lessons On Escaping History'

Can myth itself serve as a material force in struggles for
liberation? Federico Campagna joins me to discuss how myth—too
often dismissed as escapism or co-opted by reaction—can instead
become a practice of imagination, solidarity, and survival. We
look at myth’s place in anti-capitalist politics, its tension
with materialism, and its role in resisting despair. What emerges
is a vision of myth as a politics of possibility against
history’s catastrophes.
