Disco Elysium: In-Depth Analysis, Pt. 2
436In the previous installment, I analyzed Disco Elysium through the lens of literary critic Fredric Jameson. Namely, I looked at the work in terms of Jameson’s Political horizon, the very first stop on our ideological bus route. But that was only the start of our investigation. In this video, I’m analyzing Disco Elysium through the realm of the Social, Jameson’s second semantic horizon, and the Historical, the third and final horizon.
Also, I wrote an essay about fascism. It's the congealed form of various Twitter threads I wrote this week. Please clap.
