The Calculus of Consumables: Deconstructing the Myth of the Hero and the Rebellion of the Individual
This report examines the structural tension between the "Great Man" theory of history and the existential autonomy of the individual. It argues that the masses are often reduced to a biological and economic denominator designed to produce rare "mutant" elites, whose subsequent deification serves as a tool for social mobilization. By analyzing the "exhaustion" of modern icons and the predatory nature of grand narratives, this study proposes a shift toward "localized" meaning-symbolized by the "roadside flower"—as a radical act of resistance against the instrumentalization of human life.
