Starts with George Sorel and then proceeds to use the Hexateuch as a mythic register for detailing and elaborating the contemporary right's use of political myth, framed by Bloch in particular (and paying special attention to "the cunning of myth"). Ends with a call for the (materially) emancipatory potential implicit in pushing the myths of the right to realization and collapse. A nice prologue to Evan Calder Williams.
