¿Leer o Aparentar? La Obsesión con la Estética Intelectual y la lectura perfomativa

Hello everyone! Today I'm bringing you a new video essay focused on reading aesthetics and how the fact that reading is trendy on social media is promoting performative reading movements. By this, I mean reading with a purpose focused on public perception, not for the pleasure of it. That's why today we explore practical examples of this and reflect on whether reading or the aesthetics of reading are trendy. I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to hearing your comments ❤️ For this video, my research led me to very interesting articles and sources that informed this video.
