On episode 11 of Overthink, Ellie and David discuss the ways in which Zoom has impacted our perception of the self and others. They begin by exploring the blurred lines of privacy that Zoom offers (who among us hasn’t cut their video feed to do a load of laundry?). Next, the two jump into the impact self-view has had on all of us now that we are able to see ourselves conduct our normal lives, tying it to Lacan’s mirror stage. Plus, they discuss disability theorists and the potential benefits that Zoom has for inclusion and accessibility.  Interested In the works discussed? Paul Virilio, Open Sky Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness Simone de Beauvoir, The Second SexEllie Anderson, “You’re Not Staring at Yourself on Zoom, You’re Judging Yourself”Jacques Lacan, "The Mirror Stage as Formative of the I Function"Céline LeBoeuf, "Anatomy of the Thigh Gap"Iris Marion Young, "Throwing Like a Girl"Zoe Beery “When the World Shut Down, They Saw it Open”danah boyd, "Profiles as Conversation: Networked Identity Performance on Friendster"Support the showSubstack | overthinkpod.substack.com Website | overthinkpodcast.comInstagram & Twitter | @overthink_podEmail | [email protected] | Overthink podcast
