Joshua Citarella explores how social media and recent events are shaping the political subjectivities of Gen Z (born after 1998). He will present a talk about his recent publication Politigram & the Post-left, a brief ethnography of a Left anarchist memetic subculture which emerged in ~2017, and offer some updates about how this community has evolved in the last few years. Further reading includes his recent text Irony Politics & Gen Z for New Models Editorial and Welcome to TikTok.
Joshua Citarella is an NYC based artist. This talk will not be recorded.
Join us as we discuss the memetic political subjectivities of our wild epoch, and the implications for what's coming.
