Attention-economy analysis must be reframed within a broader attention ecosophy

Evidence

Analyses elucidating the mechanisms of an attention economy certainly warrant our interest as they reveal the new dynamics that are superimposed on the traditional economy, focused on the mercantile production of material goods. But these analyses must be reframed in the broader perspective of an attention ecosophy, which alone is capable of articulating the five levels of ecological reorganization necessary for the reproduction of the life forms that we value. — Yves Citton, The Ecology of Attention, 87
