    Madonna’s Music Videos as Audiovisual “Performances”. Forty years of popular culture

    No full text
    In recent years, the concept of “performance” has taken on an increasingly specific value in reference to issues of education, evaluation, and perception. It is a word recalling not only the performances we do, when necessary, but the entertainment world, where music and vision combine to generate sensational events and the magic of fiction. In The Society of the Spectacle, written by Guy Debord in 1967, the author claimed that the spectacle had become an “integral part of our very existence”. That was true at the time, and it is still true today. However, in the contemporary visual age we are hyper-and-radically-connected and we are transformed into “sounding images” projected onto screens without our interrelational human parts. Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone’s career began in the Early 80s and it has not ended yet. Over those forty years, Madonna has constructed an innovative “poetics of performance” that has been studied by numerous sociologists around the world

    A muovere da alcuni assunti-chiave della pedagogia sociale e della famiglia, l’articolo si concentra sui problemi di natura relazionale che possono rinvenirsi all’interno delle compagini domestiche, aprendo a ulteriori piste di ricerca di valore e importanza emergenziali. Dapprima, è analizzato il sottosistema fraterno e/o sororale nelle ricadute evidenti che il modello di coppia coniugale incarna agli occhi dei figli, sino a fondare una o più “sottofamiglie” interne al sistema familiare nella sua complessità globale. Successivamente, si prende in considerazione il peculiare rapporto che la madre è solita intrattenere con i figli di sesso maschile, nel tentativo di argomentare le ragioni del maggiore investimento emotivo della madre medesima qualora la prole, in quanto sessualmente differente da lei, testimoni, a maggior ragione, la sua onnipotenza generativa. Infine, l’attenzione dell’autore si sposta su una modalità relazionale di marca paterna poco indagata in seno al sapere pedagogico contemporaneo, forse in ragione della tenerezza dei nuovi padri: il residuo patriarcale della competizione fra padre e figlio, che si tramuta, qualora il padre sia di giovane età, in una sorta di ideologia amicale, altrettanto tirannica rispetto alla relazione austera e autoritaria che lasciava il figlio, di fatto, orfano di padre.Moving on from some key assumptions of social and family pedagogy, the article focuses on the relational problems that can be found within domestic teams, opening up to further research paths of emergency value and importance. Firstly, the fraternal and/or sisterly subsystem is analyzed in the evident effects that the conjugal couple model embodies in the eyes of the children, until founding one or more “subfamilies” internal to the family system in its global complexity. Subsequently, the peculiar relationship the mother is used to have with male children is taken into consideration, in an attempt to argue the reasons for the greatest emotional investment of the mother, when the offspring – as sexually different from her – witness (once more) her generative omnipotence. Finally, the author’s attention shifts to a fatherly relational modality maybe little investigated in the context of contemporary pedagogical knowledge, perhaps because of the tenderness of new fathers: the patriarchal residue of the competition between father and son, which is transformed – if the father is young – in a sort of friendly ideology, just as tyrannical as the austere and authoritarian relationship that (during the patriarchy) left his son fatherless
