#Immediacy is the dominant style of our period of #TooLateCapitalism, according to a recent book by @annakornbluh.bsky.social. I believe it’s really making itself felt in #documentary #films, with potentially destructive effects for the #genre.

“Prose is quick #reading, rapid uptake; #prose is the illusion of the unfigured; prose is the run-on continuity of quotidian temporality - while #poetry is extraordinary rhythm, arresting #images, opaque swerves. - #AnnaKornbluh, #Immediacy, or The Style of #TooLateCapitalism

“ #Professions without #experts leave individuals flailing to auto-actualize alone in the #society that does not exist.” - #AnnaKornbluh, Immediacy, or The Style of #TooLateCapitalism

“Drowning in a deluge of #images without context, words without #meaning, #information without distinction - this is the subjective experience in an economy of #immediacy.” - #AnnaKornbluh, Immediacy, Or The Style of #TooLateCapitalism
