From the culture of the video-essay on pop culture / mass media and the ensuing mini-essay born on Tiktok, I propose some image-text micro-essays published in my instagram stories. There I analyse contemporary fictions (and ultimately the films and series I consume) from a gender perspective, talking about female and queer representation.
Some of the topics addressed so far are: the representation of addiction in female characters, the importance of queer stories in sci-fi and the dystopian genre, the perception of “physically big” women in fiction, the representation of contemporary art agents in the media, or the instrumentalisation of gestational capacity in narrative arcs.
It can be seen in the highlights of @snerta.esteve.
