An essay on the defining role of awkwardness with regards to Western cultural expression throughout the first decade of the 21st century.
Adam Kotsko utilizes cultural theory in his argument that awkwardness is “…a structuring principle of human experience something that the particular conditions of our time allow us to see with greater clarity than ever before.”
Kotsko’s analysis considers the difference between the US and UK versions of Ricky Gervais’s ‘The Office,’ the films of Judd Apatow and Larry David’s ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm.’
