A self-proclaimed Trump supporter and Christian, Ensing has long been vocal about her political and religious views on social media. Users on both the left and the right were quick to condemn Ensing's Jan. 6 comment, with fellow influencer Gabriel Zamora tweeting, 'this is entertainment to you?' and others questioning Ensing's religious convictions. In addition, social media users have denounced Ensing for 'blackfishing,' or pretending to be black or mixed-race online for personal gain. (No evidence has refuted Ensing's half-Puerto Rican heritage, although critics have alleged a misleading opportunistic and "rebrand")." https://www.prnewsonline.com/sephora-influencer-PR-Ensing #BrandSephora #2020_CapitolSiege #MemeAmusedEatingPopcorn #IRLPersonalityInfluencerGabrielZamora #OtheringCaricatureImperialismBlackfaceBlackfishing #ToponymAmericaSouthPuertoRico

Addendum the short - presented by Ekpunobi (with help from her co-conspiracy theory fantasists) - imagines a #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific, which they position in #MetaphorThreatExistential terms. Significantly, the piece attempts to strengthen an emerging #OrgSyndicateAccordConservativeEcosystem (composed of business people who are ideologically invested in a #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation) while also, seeking to #LiteralMessagingPersuasionAdvertising (or perhaps more aptly, #BeliefTheismProselytise) the short's audience into the ways of #PoliticsCapitalismLaissezFaireFreeMarketFundamentalism. In doing so, then piece begins with Ekpunobi offering up her #MetaphorConfessionOfTheReformed (of Ekpunobi seemingly #MetaphorBlindnessDeafnessVsSeeingHearingTheTruth through rejecting #BehaviourTolerance i.e. so-called #TauntWokeness in favour of what appears to be some version of #TheoryPoliticsOfFearAnxietyOfVictimisation crossed with #ConspiracyTheory_CulturalMarxism). In doing so, the short seeks to concretise (what #IRLHistoricalFigureKarlMarx might understand as a form of #TheoryReification [Wikipedia] ) where a contemporary cultural phenomenon (what #IRLSociologistAndreasReckwitz understands as #TheoryHypercultureHybridity) as a so-called #MetaphorWarfareCulture - perhaps, what #IRLScholarErvingGoffman might understand in #TheoryFrameAnalysis terms as some sort of 'frame shifting' - where such a phenomenon takes on the form of a #MetaphorWarfareFactionalism / #MetaphorWarfareBattleFight staged by people invested in #TheoryIndividualismCompetitive, which is replete with #MetaphorWarfareHero.s and #MetaphorWarfareEnemy.ies (or, perhaps more aptly #MetaphorPretencePantomimeVillain.s). The short includes aspects of #PhenomnCulturalFormGenreDocumentaryTravelogue [Wikipedia] (through including references to Ekpunobi travelling to #ToponymAmericaNorthUSTennesseeNashville and #ToponymAmericaNorthUSFloridaOrlando). Through its choice of interview subjects, the piece somewhat seeks to imply that the we are in the midst of a #MetaphorTransformationSeaChange [Wikipedia] brought on by the #MetaphorGenerationTheYounger overthrowing the #PoliticsStatusQuo (instead of the reality, that the piece is aimed at #IdentityConservativeYoung who are much more likely to be resistant to social change efforts).

Supplementary #EDUAUUniversityOfNewSouthWalesUNSWNoelaDavis "Judith Butler's theory of the constitution of subjectivity conceptualizes the subject as a performative materialization of its social environment. In her theory Butler utilizes Louis Althusser's notion of interpellation, and she critiques the constitutive paradoxes to which its tautological framing leads. Although there is no pre-existing subject, as it is constituted in the turn to the interpellative hail, Butler nonetheless theorizes a guilt and compulsion acting on an 'individual' that compels his or her turn to answer the hail. There is a price to pay for subjectivity in Butler's schema: the reprimand of the interpellative law that punishes at the same time as it constitutes. But a return to Althusser's text finds that he does not rely so much on coercion and guilt in his explanation of the subject's answer to the hail. Althusser can instead be read as suggesting that we are already an instantiation and enactment of power-ideology and, to paraphrase Michel Foucault, are already the principle of our own 'subjection.' This contests the notion that we are in any way compelled to submit to an external, punitive force to become subjects. As subjects, we are always-already the embodiment of the field of society-power-ideology (p.881). ... The potential of interpellation as the basis for a performative theory of subjectivity lies in its being a naming that constitutes the subject it so names. There is no subject before this naming; that is, interpellation does not describe a pre-existing or given subject which then internalizes or appropriates its subjectifying conditions. Instead, interpellation gives an account of the genesis of the subject; that is, of the subject as an already subjectified, and thus social, being. In The Psychic Life of Power, Butler examines Althusser's scenario of interpellation, aiming to give a 'symptomatic' reading of his text, a reading that will show the 'invisible' within it (Butler 1997b, 113). The scene of interpellation that Butler critiques in Althusser describes a hailing that transforms 'individuals into subjects' (Althusser 1971, 174). In his example, a policeman in the street calls out 'Hey, you there!' The mysterious qualities of this call are revealed as Althusser observes that the one so hailed turns around in response, and 'nine times out of ten it is the right one' who turns. In turning, the respondent 'becomes a subject' by recognizing that 'the hail was 'really' addressed to him' (174-75; original emphasis). In her reading, Butler highlights the enigmatic nature of such a suggestion, noting the 'paradoxical' elements of these processes of subject-formation (subjectivation) (Butler 1997b, 1). This arises because, in describing this scene, we must speak as if there is something that responds and turns to answer the hail, yet because interpellation constitutes the subject, there is no subject-no 'who'--to hear and respond to the call. In giving this account we must thus 'refer to what does not yet exist' (4), and are confronted with the difficulty of explaining what turns to answer, how 'it' recognizes the call, and why it turns (p.882)."

Addendum although from quite a different context, this statement from #OrgAUVicMuseumsVictoriaCollections provides a useful synopsis of issues around the appropriation of cultural archetypes and use of cultural stereotypes in #LiteralMessagingPersuasionAdvertising i.e. "Uses of Stereotyping in Marketing & Advertising: The use of cultural (and other) stereotypes in this context attempts to elicit amusement, feelings of superiority, and nostalgia for the empowered, white majority through the reduction of cultural identities and historical references to one dimensional caricatures of diverse groups of people. Stereotypes are also prevalent in the quest to sell a product, again by depicting simplistic cultural derivations, as well as explicitly derogatory and racist. Then as now such depictions of often marginalised people and the attitudes these depictions represent, are deplorable and unacceptable." https://collections.museumsvictoria.com.au/articles/13230 #OtheringStereotypeSocialIdentityImplicitBias / #PhenomnCulturalAppropriation
