I assumed the title meant Marry The Night was analyzed by Michael Foucault. I was like, damn, the Born This Way era was so powerful it brought gays back from the dead.

As will I.

That was a cool read. It felt very jargon-y, but I'm not all too familiar with reading works from sociology professors, so I had to do a lot of background research per paragraph LOL. I only vaguely knew Foucault.

Anyway, cool read. Their analysis of Gaga's statements regarding You and I are super interesting and provoking. I also loved the description of Gaga's work, at the time, as having a "deeply interesting, yet problematic, ontological anxiety".

"In a recent interview about the video, Lady Gaga states that she finds it interesting “how we perceive what is artifice and what is reality”. The starting sequence of ‘The Prelude Pathétique’ expressed the typical Gagaic mystique eloquently with, “When I look back on my life, it is not that I do not want to see things exactly as they happened, it is just that I prefer to remember them in an artistic way. And truthfully, the lie of it all is much more honest because I invented it.” These words remind one of a review of postmodernist Lyotard’s Libidinal Economy stating that in contemporary times “truth results from imagination, expressivity”. The philosophical possibilities and implications pertaining to this statement are immense. The lesson gained is, perhaps, in our times the ‘truth’ is that which we define as the truth; tears can be defined as priceless emotions or as chemical malfunction in the eyes."

Inject this straight into my veins.

Love this!! Makes me like the video even more now! I love reading analysis of her and her music from people like this who really look at it and analyze it deeply.

This! She truly is an epitome of postmodernism.

Live for articles like this - they are one of the rare occasions when I feel that studying humanities for years kinda pays off
