Glee Analysis! :)

Feb 16, 2012 08:02

I love social theory. I've *never* hid this, because seriously? Dude, I got a degree in the stuff. I love trying to analyze actions through different lens, different filters, and then seeing what can be interpreted because of what I see. There is an *amazing* blog out there called Letters from Titan wherein deconstructs much of pop culture and ( Read more... )

as someone who has a t-shirt reading "Goffman is My Homeboy" I am intrigued by these ideas and wish to join your knitting circle :)

Seriously! I want a shirt like that. I have thoughts, but thoughts are going to have to wait until next week because I'm going out of town this weekend. But I will think the thoughts and you can read them and think other thoughts and it might even be like a discussion or something. *meep*

:/ I am definitely feeling like I'm falling more and more into the role of 'shy Asian girl', because of how uncomfortable I am at work and just about everywhere nowadays.

The mask can offer both safety and be claustrophobic. *hug*

Looking forward to fresh air with you and the gals! XD

This is something I'd noticed a while back about Glee, though I wouldn't have known how to put it in a formal social theory type of way. But the fact that the cheerleaders are ALWAYS in costume, except for brief periods when they're not cheerleaders, and the letterman jackets, and each person's very unique-from-the-other-characters type of style that seems to define who they are - YES, it is all about the disguises we wear, and the identities we claim as our own and then cling to so desperately. I would be very interested in reading a longer work exploring these themes :)
