Lecture: “The Summer of 2013: White Heterosexist 表演 and the Critical Consumer (or, What Was Miley Cyrus Thinking?)”

What’s been going on with American popular music over the last few months? 我将 argue that an active critical engagement with the mediated public sphere is more urgent 从今往后. In the wake of the Zimmerman verdict, the Supreme Court rollback of the Voting Rights Act, and the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, 我将 consider how particular histories of white pleasure are activated in performance. How does heterosexist desire and longing drive our expectations in popular music, and how is it powerfully racialized? Was Miley’s twerk-tastic dance racist? 如何和 why is the erotic/exotic a powerful white performance paradigm? 不言而喻的意识形态是怎样的 of difference dependent on our willingness to enjoy them without questioning their 条款? 我将 show abundant video footage, will reflect on the breakup of The Civil Wars and Miley Cyrus’ MTV Video Music Award performance, and will close with some loose guidelines for how to be a progressive, feminist, anti-racist critical consumer of American popular music without (somehow) despairing or disengaging.
