Teletubby 149,867 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 New York University’s Clive Davis Institute has introduced its first-ever course on Taylor Swift, which launched on Jan. 26 and continues through March 9. Taught by Rolling Stone’s Brittany Spanos, the class will cover Taylor’s evolution as a creative music entrepreneur, the legacy of pop and country songwriters, discourses of youth and girlhood, and the politics of race in contemporary popular music, according to a rep for the program, who noted that the course has a long waitlist. The course description reads in part, “This course proposes to deconstruct both the appeal and aversions to Taylor Swift through close readings of her music and public discourse as it relates to her own growth as an artist and a celebrity. Through readings, lectures and more, the class delves into analyses of the culture and politics of teen girlhood in pop music, fandom, media studies, whiteness and power as it relates to her image and the images of those who have both preceded and succeeded her. We’ll also consider topics like copyright and ownership, American nationalism and the ongoing impact of social media on the pop music industry." source "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantina 3,357 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I'm all for having unique courses, but this is something you can do in your free time. "Medicine is hard. There are so many arteries and veins that we need to know by heart" "I understand you completely. We have to memorize the chronological order of guests appearing on her 1989 world tour" It's a joke Until then, this is Elvira saying unpleasant dreams.
