While love stories are still routinely sidelined by some academics and critics, the politics of love, sex and desire, and the stories we tell about them, cannot be overestimated. There is absolutely nothing apolitical about love stories because our popular ideas of romance are a colonial hangover, steeped in the reactionary values of the imperial 19th century. At this point isn’t it worth asking: what’s universal about our modern idea of love?

When we were looking for Paul Mescal’s Instagram account last week (a regular occurrence here at STELLAR) we quickly realised that it no longer existed and now the actor has revealed why he’s no longer using the social media platform.
His now deactivated account had over one million followers but that wasn’t enough for him to keep it as a source, speaking with The Sun, has revealed that he felt he was getting ‘sucked in’ to the app.
The Maynooth native has had a surreal rise to fame since appearing in BBC’s adaptation of Sally Rooney’s novel, Normal People last year. Although he had been acting for some time, his tole as Connell Waldron in the show made him a global star.
