Overton Window

noun
/ō ᐧ ver ᐧ ten win ᐧ dō/
noun
a window whose transparency has been so compromised with the grime of contemporary life– so exceedingly encrusted with the dirty discharge of capital markets, the toxic pollution of warrior rhetoric, the exfoliated debris of the broken body politik– that this window no longer functions as a frame through which to view content positioned on its other side. Instead, because of the corrosivity and heavy load of its thick and weird encasement, this is a window that has transubstantiated into a porous, translucent and dynamic material– a medium –able to hold and maintain content within itself.
