The Selling Sunset Women as Cultural Theorists
Christine: Freud
All of her displacement (“you’re jealous!”) and sublimation. She is the ultimate castration threat.
Amanza: Foucault
Why is she being PUNISHED for being a good mother? The office is her own personal panopticon, the others constantly watching her to finally close a deal.
Mary: Weber
She has a Protestant work ethic!
Heather: Judith Butler
Why is TMZ so interested in her performance of gender as a girlfriend of a famous person?
Crishell: Raymond Williams
She knows that culture is for the masses and so is real estate, she promotes the valley.
Romain: Derrida
They are both French and both trash.
Davina: Baudrillard
The $75 house is a simulacrum of domestic living, such a spectacle that it’s not even real.
Jason and Brett: Horkheimer & Adorno
Both iconic duos.
