Midcareer Writing

NEW! WRITING! NOW! Midcareer Writing is Federico Sargentone's debut book: a reflective exploration of identity, youth, and cultural narratives. They manifest in various expressions and consumer choices, perpetuating a generational mythology that fuels industries-from fashion, art, and music to media and economics-that continually mine youth culture for economic gain, recycling trends and identities into commodities.  IF YOU BUY INTO IT YOU ARE PART OF IT In this collection of selected essays, including both published and original material, the author delves into historical phenomena such as 'Tulipmania' as allegories for the excesses and speculative bubbles of modern consumer culture or touches on the concept of 'ambient' aesthetics, a pervasive influence in the digital age where everything from music to fashion prioritises atmosphere over explicit structure or narrative.
