Film, Negation and Freedom: Capitalism and Romantic Critique — Cinema as Structural Refusal (Audio)

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.This episode explores Film, Negation and Freedom: Capitalism and Romantic Critique by Will Kitchen as a systems-level analysis of how capitalist narrative structures normalize success, productivity, and moralized achievement.By focusing on aesthetic negation and structural interruption, the episode shows why these systems persist — even when critique is widely circulated within the very institutions that sustain them.📺 Watch the Deep Dive and Mini Explainer on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/J9XTRkzwSRs🎉 Apple Podcasts:👉 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crisis-in-perception/id1876160176❤️ Support Crisis in Perception on Patreon:👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/film-negation-as-150791725?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkAuthor SupportIf these ideas resonate, consider reading the book yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
