He/They/Them
To Ethan, pop culture is not just the entertainment industry. It is a representation of mass and individual consciousness and subconsciousness. Well, and entertainment too!
As a philosophy major, he could have dissociated and written tedious hermeneutical studies, but instead he spends his days and nights tirelessly in front of the screen, analyzing both new Star Wars shows and HBO dramas, both horror films and Hallmark movies. All for knowledge and fun!
An ardent opponent of Eurocentrism, he doesn't limit himself to English-language media, dabbling in the classic and contemporary cultural genres of Japan, China, and Korea. Analyzing the religious references in J-horrors? Please! Exploring queer representation in K-dramas? With pleasure!
