NEW! WRITING! NOW! Midcareer Writing is Federico Sargentone's debut book: a reflective
exploration of identity youth and cultural narratives. They manifest in various expressions
and consumer choices perpetuating a generational mythology that fuels industries-from fashion
art and music to media and economics-that continually mine youth culture for economic gain
recycling trends and identities into commodities. IF YOU BUY INTO IT YOU ARE PART OF IT In
this collection of selected essays including both published and original material the author
delves into historical phenomena such as 'Tulipmania' as allegories for the excesses and
speculative bubbles of modern consumer culture or touches on the concept of 'ambient'
aesthetics a pervasive influence in the digital age where everything from music to fashion
prioritises atmosphere over explicit structure or narrative.
