ContraPoints on Twilight
I’m not sure if you’re all already familiar with Natalie Wynn’s YouTube channel ContraPoints, but if you haven’t seen it I can heartily recommend her latest video essay on the gendered and Christian politics of the Twilight series that came out last week.
Wynn’s work is always astonishingly detailed, erudite, generous and funny, and her reading of contemporary critical theory is as on-point as anything you will find. (Don’t believe me, watch the videos she did on Jordan Peterson, JK Rowling and Incels.)
The videos are comprehensive, meticulously produced and scripted (this one running to nearly 3 hours) and her insights are often profound.
Highly recommended.
