Despite this, most scholarship has been dedicated to analyzing historical feature films and documentary films, leaving TV and the long-form drama hungry for coverage.

¿Qué tienen en común la desaparición de las variedades de manzana, la aparición de políticos en programas de entrevistas, el fundamentalismo religioso y el mercado del arte y la música? La diversidad se reduce en todas partes, lo inesperado y lo desajustado se rechaza. En lugar del contenido peculiar, hay una supuesta autenticidad: ya no es el "qué" lo que cuenta, sino solo el "cómo". En la actualidad, la complejidad, la pluralidad y la diversidad ya no se perciben como un enriquecimiento.

La filosofia non è mai stata innocente. Ha perso la verginità in piazza, ai tempi di Socrate, e si è guardata indietro senza nessun rimpianto. XXI secolo: la mercificazione della nostalgia filosofica ci propina un passato che non è mai esistito. La filosofia è stata relegata nelle aule universitarie. È tempo per la filosofia di abbandonare il suo recinto. È tempo di portare la battaglia filosofica nella popular culture, usando le armi migliori a disposizione della filosofia: dal pensiero critico alla decostruzione. Ma in modo inedito.

As Daphné B. obsessively watches YouTube makeup tutorials and haunts Sephora’s website, she’s increasingly troubled by the ways in which this obsession contradicts her anti-capitalist and intersectional feminist politics. In this poetic treatise, she rejects the false binaries of traditional beauty standards and delves into the celebrities and influencers who have shaped the reflection she sees in the mirror. At once confessional and essayistic, Made-Up is a meditation on the makeup that colors, that obscures, that highlights who we are and who we wish we could be.
