    1. My first essay for my MA in Cultural and Critical Studies is available here medium.com/@SimonXIX/assessed-essay-ranci%C3%A8re-critique-and-irony-7e85ebf7fa9b It's about Rancière's critique of critique and left-wing melancholy. I discuss the links between melancholy and irony under capitalism arguing for an approach of new sincerity.

    The central point is about the ironic cultural disposition under capitalism and how this is manifested in products like South Park. I argue that this sense of irony is itself feeding capitalism rather than critiquing it and that we need a new culture of sincerity.
