Abstract

What is rebellion without political purpose? Is the pursuit of pleasure sufficient, an all-you-can-eat orgy of liberated desires? Adopting the socio-cultural movement La Movida of post-Franco Spain as its thematic heart, Dark Habits - an intentional nod to its namesake, the title and content of Pedro Almodovar's third feature film Dark Habits - presents poems, essays, images, autofiction, pop lyrics and short narratives to explore the authors' own boundaries of morality and self-determination.
