Probably my favorite phenomenon to witness is when someone's hyper-niche academic expertise serendipitiously dovetails with a major pop cultural event. Just read a thread by a cultural historian of modern France, specializing in visual culture, performance, and memory, who's currently writing a study about. Napoleon on stage and screen. She is freaking the fuck out about the Ridley Scott blockbuster lmfao
