Mythogenetic Moment
Joseph Campbell had a term for the nodal moment or temporal vortex: he called it themythogenetic moment. On the first page ofCreative Mythology, he signaled the 12th century as the last great mythogenetic moment in the history of Western civilization. … Campbell felt passionately that the transition into the 21st century could be a mythogenetic moment morally and spiritually equivalent to the 12th century, and possibly even resonant with it.
