The final event of the sustainability lecture series "UPB for Future" will be the lecture "Kultürlich Drag: Pop, Stars und Diversitäten: Spielerische Amateure und Profis in Exklusion, Inklusion und Transformation" by Prof. Dr. Christoph Jacke on Thursday, 17 July at 4.15 pm in lecture hall L1.
Whether on the smartphone, in the concert arena or in music media and media music: stars and celebrities of pop music cultures literally shine out at you. The productions of Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, Anohni and Rammstein are worlds apart. The UN Sustainable Development Goals call for reducing inequality, utilising opportunities and strengthening representation. So there is nothing more obvious than to look for traces of masculinity, femininity and diversity in star culture(s).
