When I was studying #cinema in college, much of the underlying theory fueling my research was #structuralism, #PostStructuralism, #semiotics, #constructivism, and #AuteurTheory. I knew nothing of #Psychoanalysis, nothing of #Freud or #Lacan.
When #Zizek came out with his 2006 #film, THE PERVERT'S GUIDE TO CINEMA, it blew me away. Though I was done with college I still continued with a strong interest in cinema. I found his insights fascinating and provoking.
@Chronotope Also heavily at play here in their decentralization of control is regression toward the mean (Galton, 1886) by spreading out buying decisions over a more diverse group which is more likely to reflect the buying population than one or two corporate buyers whose individual bad decisions can destroy a company.
