Khieu Samphan, the Khmer Rouge’s 83-year-old former head of state, and Nuon Chea, its 88-year-old chief ideologue, appeared in court yesterday for the first day of the appeals.

  • What's Happened to Pleasure-Seeking in the Age of Wellness?
    New Hedonism What’s happened to pleasure-seeking in the age of wellness? Cultural Insights & Strategy | London, Amsterdam, New York, Singapore, Sydney [email protected] | www.crowdDNA.com New Hedonism Have We Had Too Much Of A Good Thing? Hedonism: an extravagant, reckless pursuit of immediate gratification that (in some ways) sounds like the makings of an ideal consumer. But think about what that looks like and you’re probably not picturing meditation apps, no-alcohol bars or CBD. So what does hedonism look like in the age of wellness? Has it survived the remediation of pop culture, or is it doomed to haunt the empty warehouses of 90s raves gone by? In this Crowd DNA report, we’re examining the cultural pressures acting on people and their desires. We’ll be exploring what’s driving us, and how the pursuit and politics of pleasure are changing. We take a look at the fundamentals of pleasure and how these map onto a more socially-conscious strand of indulgence, before providing tips on building a sustainable strategy in this new, morality-infused economy. At Crowd we’re constantly figuring out what makes people tick – what they want, why they want it and what that can tell us about them. If you’d like to chat more about unpacking hedonism in the age of wellness, get in touch at [email protected] Thanks for reading, Crowd DNA 01 02 New Hedonism Have we really turned into the most saintly culture to date? Gen Z are called the sober generation; clubs are closing all over the world; escapism means five minutes of meditation rather than a weekend of bingeing – it seems we’ve all started to rein it in.

  • Third-Culture Huàllywood: Or, 'Chimerica' the Cinematic Return. We
    Third-culture Huàllywood: Or, ‘Chimerica’ the cinematic return. We live in difficult times, in times of monstrous chimeras and evil dreams and criminal follies Joseph Conrad Under Western Eyes Prelusion The above epigraph wormed its way into this essay after being encountered as a masthead on two different papers informing it. The first being John L. Comaroff and Jean Comaroff’s writing on millennial capitalism, i wherein they observe that ‘ours are perplexing times: “Times of monstrous chimeras” in which the conjuncture of the strange and the familiar, of stasis and metamorphosis, plays tricks on our perceptions, our positions, our praxis’ (2000, 293). Of import to my arguments below, the authors there illuminate how the ‘ontological condition-of-being under millennial capitalism’ exposes a complex universe of displaced and refracted identity and belief, which embodies complex ‘ironies, […] all the way down; to the very “soul of the Millennial age”’ (292-3): Ideas germane to this essay’s thinking about certain China-US and US-China transborder films starring chimeric aliens and monsters. Linked to this, the other paper deploying the Conrad quote was subtitled ‘The Chimera in Film and Print,’ and mounted a survey into the role of these mythical creatures in science-fiction and fantasy. Because of these encounters, the Conrad line returned like a German ohrworm (earworm), melodically affecting my deployment of the chimera persona(e) to describe a curious mongrel cinema emerging from the intersectionalities of contemporary ‘Hollywood’ and ‘Huallywood’ (hua laiwu, 华-llywood) productions. Worth foregrounding here is that the chimera is a hybrid. A fabled beast of Greek mythology composed of bits and pieces of different animals.

Otros lo han tomado como un escaparate promocional para el artista o grupo. Si bien es verdad, que desde su invención ha sido una pieza audiovisual con una puesta en escena y producción bien cuidadas, no podía compararse de ninguna forma con el nivel que tienen, por ejemplo, las obras cinematográficas. Esto ha ido cambiando en los últimos años, gracias a los avances tecnológicos. Hemos podido observar cómo han surgido videoclips con una trama narrativa, o con un proceso de preproducción de muy alto nivel.
