Cultural criticism by Chris Dalla Riva-style long-form essayist examining the social mechanisms behind taste, status and cultural change. Issues combine theory (Bourdieu, Veblen, Shklovsky) with analysis of contemporary pop culture and updates on the author's books.
A Spanish-language newsletter that blends geopolitics, sociology and current events, mixing personal essays with a weekly news brief. Readers get reflective analysis of protests, migration, housing and foreign policy framed through who bears the cost of power.
A cultural research newsletter that turns trends from a network of expert contributors into themed essays on culture, brands and society. Issues combine sociological and philosophical references with concrete examples from design, retail and work.
Long-form essays that use anthropology, especially van Gennep and Turner on liminality, to interpret modern culture, including therapists, comedians, and the internet as inheritors of older threshold roles. The writing is playful in framing but serious in argument, and it builds across a connected series.
