Dr. Jason MuellerCongratulations to Dr. Jason Mueller for publishing this wonderful article entitled "Subjective destitution, love, and
rebellion in pandemic times: Theorizing with Hot Skull," published in the peer reviewed
journal Human Geography. This article engages with the Turkish Netflix series Hot
Skull (Turkish: Sıcak Kafa) -- a fictional series on a pandemic-ravaged dystopia,
an authoritarian government, and the ways in which social movements organize mutual
aid efforts to overcome these adverse situations. Using several key events in the
series as jumping-off points, my article illustrates how theories from the disciplines
of sociology and psychoanalysis can be deployed to analyze the political messages
and social contexts embedded in mass media products. To read the article click here.
