S2 EP 11 - Studying Pleasures - Taylor Swift & the NFL


Listen Later

Cheryl Cooky and Molly Cotner join us to talk about the complexities and contradictions of Taylor Swift and her engagements with the NFL. Contemporary feminism and postfeminism are central to the discussion: Ways in which pop and girl culture are trivialized and overlooked, men's angry reactions to Taylor Swift and her fans' presence in NFL football, how Taylor Swift is a commodity in the body of a person, and ways in which she embodies white feminism. This episode is both fun and serious, much like Taylor Swift, and it touches on issues of gender, race, politics, media, economy, and research. What are your thoughts about Taylor Swift?
