The Parasocial

What this is

Each piece takes something happening in current internet culture and reads it through an established psychological concept: named, defined and applied, with a counterpoint where the framework falls short.

What this isn't

Nothing here diagnoses or speculates about anyone's private mental state. The subject is always public behavior or audience response.
