The collapse of time and domestic memory: Annie Ernaux’s “The Super 8 Years”

(04/10/24 8:17pm)

“The Super 8 Years” — directed by Annie Ernaux, French writer and winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature — records her domestic life from 1972 to 1981. The film was primarily shot by her then-husband Phillipe Ernaux with a handheld camera, switching between moving and still figures. The film is an introspection of Ernaux’s personal life, where she closely reconsiders her relations to family and history.

Stanley Cup hype: Have we normalized commodity fetishism?

(02/18/24 2:00pm)

On TikTok, the hashtag “#StanleyCup” has 7.3 billion views. Simultaneously, on the news, people poured into Target for a limited version of the Stanley Cup, even though they’ve likely hoarded four or five Stanley Cups already. What is so unique about the Stanley Cup? While some claim it is a source of emotional support, others see it as a millennial aesthetic. By routinely releasing limited versions with different colors, Stanley Cups possess a quality that is desirable among Gen Z girls.

The ambivalence and intersection of identities in Mitski's ‘The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We’

(12/05/23 7:37am)

Mitski is the voice of this era. Sometimes one doesn’t have to be a part of the generation that confronts specific issues particular to a period: to document, to represent and to transform a time – one can be as fictional as realistic. Mitski’s music is always as poetic as political in itself.

Laufey's 'Bewitched' reimagines modern love in a neoclassical frame

(10/19/23 1:16am)

Growing up, Laufey considered herself an odd kid with an “old lady voice,” yet her voice has now become her anachronistic signature in a plastically-coded melodramatic pop music industry. A graduate from Berklee College of Music, Icelandic-Chinese artist Laufey is a trained pianist and cellist who blends her classical roots with her love of traditional jazz in her composition. Laufey’s debut album “Everything I Know About Love” (2022) is more like a documentary on some of her immediate, existential contemplations during her emerging adulthood, while her second album “Bewitched,'' released a year later, is both an extension and a zoomed-in close-up of recent life imagined in her debut album.
