Vertigo — Desire as a System of Control (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one case study at a time.
This episode explores Vertigo (1958) as a systems-level analysis of how desire can reorganize perception and manufacture identity. By focusing on structure rather than story, the episode examines how repetition and aesthetic coherence stabilize belief—producing certainty without verification.
Vertigo offers a model for understanding why desire-driven systems persist even when their mechanisms are exposed.
