DESCRIPTION

The micro-analysis is a new feature on this channel.

Today's topic is the yellow vest; the infamous garment worn by the gilets jaunes movement currently demonstrating in France. With the help of Gilles Deleuze, and his concept of the scream, we try to pry open the yellow vest symbolically.

Feel free to contribute to the conversation below!
