Beyonce kao predmet na američkom univerzitetu / University Offers Beyonce Politics Class


Departman za studije roda Rutgers univerziteta u New Jersey-u nudi studentima mogućnost da odaberu kurs "Politizacija Beyonce". Na kursu, čiji je cilj da prouči kulturni i politički uticaj Beyonce, biće proučavani njena slika u javnosti, spotovi, tekstovi, ali i njen alter ego Sasha Fierce kao elemente mainstream feminističke kulture.
Student doktorskih studija, Kevin Allred, koji vodi ovaj kurs, kaže:
"Ovo nije kurs o političkom angažmanu Beyonce, niti koliko je puta pevala tokom inauguracije predsednika Obame. Ona definitivno pomera grancie. Dok drugi izvođači samo objavljuju muziku, ona kreira veliku priču oko svog života, karijere i lika kojim se predstavlja u javnosti".

The Department of Women's and Gender Studies at the Rutgers University in New Jersey is offering students an opportunity to take a class entitled "Politicising Beyonce". The course, which will center around Beyonce's political and cultural impact, promises to look at her videos, her lyrics and her alter ego Sasha Fierce - and these elements are related to mainstream feminist figures.
PhD student, Kevin Allred, who'll teach this course, spoke about it:
"This isn't a course about Beyoncé's political engagement or how many times she performed during President Obama's inauguration weekend. She certainly pushes boundaries. While other artists are simply releasing music, she's creating a grand narrative around her life, her career, and her persona."
