    You're probably right, but the class is supposedly on music and gender, and the prompt grossly conflates music and video in trying to tie feminism to creative primacy and intentionality. I don't put any real stock in critical theory, but I think you'd be even harder pressed to make any meaningful point about feminist imagery by marginalizing the man who directed the Smack My Bitch Up video as well as a video featuring Rammstein engaging in explicit penetrative sex.

    So, for one of the Gen Eds i'm taking is a class called Music and Gender, and the professor just handed out the essay topics which included this gem.
    Lady Gaga's music and image has been influenced by the likes of David Bowie, Fred Mercury from Queen, Michael Jackson, Madonna and Gwen Stefani. In her latest video set to the music "Telephone," Lady Gaga along with Beyonce presents an array of images of androgyny and hyper femininity in her narrative that begins with doing time in a women's prison. In this video that refers to the film Thelma and Louise, Lady Gaga weaves a tale of poisoning Beyonce's repulsive boyfriend as well as the other patrons of the restaurant, and then proceeds to drive off in the sunset with Beyonce.

    For your paper, discuss some of the details of popular culture that the video is incorporating and argue what does Lady Gaga's pastiche of popular culture do for her audience. (Britney Spear's video of "One More Time" for example). How does her audience understand these controversial images that border on the obscene? What is the significance of including Beyonce in the music video? In your opinion, is Lady Gaga a feminist in her surreal play of images that involve lesbianism in her music video? Or is re-inscribing misogynistic views of women?

    This is not dissimilar to the conversation Leanna and I had about it. It's a good topic.

    Does your teacher understand the difference between music and film?

    Yes?

    I'm feeling a bit dense as i'm not quite sure what you're getting at.
    In your opinion, is Lady Gaga a feminist in her surreal play of images that involve lesbianism in her music video? Or is re-inscribing misogynistic views of women?

    All of the points mentioned in the prompt are facets of the video, directed by someone who is not Lady GaGa.

    i would be very surprised if lady gaga did not get to approve each and every idea in her music videos

    I would be not at all surprised if... she did get to... not...

    fuck that sentence is dumb

    I would be surprised if she did have complete creative control. there we go

    she's another super-produced glam rocker and a pop star. her producers "co-author" all the music these days

    I do not understand the widespread impression that she's some kind of totally independent artist

    tbh lady gaga is fun as hell
    During her Monster Ball extravaganza, which is heading to Melbourne on Tuesday, there is a video of a model vomiting on Gaga. The singer also eats what appears to be a human heart and bathes in blood.

    Arizona sheriff launches immigration sweep
    PHOENIX – The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in Arizona has launched a two-day, countywide crime and immigration sweep that authorities say will focus on drop houses, drug violators and human smuggling vehicles.

    Four hundred deputies and volunteer posse members are taking part in the patrols. The sweep, which began Thursday, is Sheriff Joe Arpaio's 14th since early 2008.

    During the sweeps, deputies flood an area of a city — in some cases heavily Latino areas — to seek out traffic violators and arrest other alleged lawbreakers.

    Critics say Arpaio's deputies have racially profiled Hispanics. The sheriff says deputies approach people only when they have probable cause to believe people have committed crimes.
