Madonna [virtual]
Madonna’s impact on American culture and on global pop music is deep and enduring. In the words of the queens of RuPaul’s DragRace Season 12, “From Holiday to Medellin, when it comes to pop, I’m still your queen.” We might be fans, we might be scholars - we might even be haters - but we can look to Madge’s work
to understand the relationship between religion and pop culture. Each week, we’ll explore Madonna’s music and videos, talk about different roles that Madonna (or any artist) plays in creating culture, and think about how our experiences shape our understanding.
- Week one: Intro to Madonna Studies (it’s a thing!)
- Week two: Madonna as Social Commentator
- Week three: Madonna as Cultural Parasite
- Week four: Madonna as Reinventor
- Week five: Madonna as Catalyst of Postmodernism
Instructor: Bill Hulseman, Meaning Maker
Schedule: Thursdays, April 15 - May 13 from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
Location: Zoom (links sent after registration)
Tuition: $60
