The Capitalist Gaze

2022-08-25

This week we discuss friend of the podcast Todd McGowan's 2013 essay, The Capitalist Gaze. As Todd explains it, "Although the structure of capitalism is not homologous with the structure of the visual field, thinking about capitalism in terms of the gaze follows from the apparent neutrality that both structures share". Peter has lost a finger, Michael is sick and Will cannot remember The Usual Suspects. Take a break, have a Kit-Kat and find the essay here: https://muse.jhu.edu/article/527298...
