Obsession & Crazy Rich Asians: Autonomy and Power Systems
By Asian Pacific Empowerment Collective at UCR
About
Are you a fan of Obsession or Crazy Rich Asians? We’ll be discussing both films this upcoming Thursday through the lens of autonomy and power structures 🎬 WORKSHOP PREVIEW: As global consumerism and hyper-capitalism advance, the similarities between desire and socio-economic status grow increasingly inseparable. From the relationship dynamics between Wish Nikki and Bear to the cold treatment of Rachel Chu by Nick Young’s elite family, the contemporary landscape of affection has become deeply transactional. Obsession and Crazy Rich Asians offer crucial narrative parallels, illustrating the systematic erosion of personal autonomy and the inextricable role of social market interaction. Join us for our workshop, “Obsession & Crazy Rich Asians: Autonomy and Power Systems” in INTS 1132 on 11/5 from 6:00-8:00pm! Hosted by @dcienjoyer2000
