What're you doing this weekend? c'mon, it wouldn't be the weekend without this thread!
I have two papers due by midnight, and then I am FREE of classes! Until Monday, that is. I'm going camping at the beach with housemates and friends tomorrow. I plan on drinking lots! What have you fellow orgers got in store? I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

What papers? Post the assignments here. They're for my film class! One is a response paper to this week's reading, and another one is my FINAL paper... I'm writing on the "star text" that's been generated around Prince (using Richard Dyer's writings as a guide, sorta). Normally, I would be excited to write about Prince and pick him apart even more, but I'm under serious pressure... so it's just not enjoyable I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

I'm writing on the "star text" that's been generated around Prince (using Richard Dyer's writings as a guide, sorta). Who the fuck is Richard Dwyer? Oh wait. I remember.. Richard Dyer’s research has focused on notions of entertainment and representation and especially the relations between them. His approach emphasises the aesthetic and historical specificity of cultural texts. He is now working principally on music and film, and especially the work of Nino Rota and the concept of pastiche. He is also currently doing work on Lena Horne, the family in the Italian giallo film, music in Italian neo-realist cinema and pre-Stonewall lesbian and gay culture. Normally, I would be excited to write about Prince and pick him apart even more, but I'm under serious pressure... so it's just not enjoyable
That's why I'm saying post it here (or in the P:M&M forum). You don't think there are 12 Prince geeks ready to pounce on this topic? | |

I haven't even really decided what I'm going to write on yet. I'm halfway done but have gotten nowhere. I would love help, input, and suggestions, but I don't even know what to ask! It's just like I'm going around... and around... and around... I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

It's mostly just the image that has been created around the star, mostly taking into consideration the publicity that surrounds them. It includes promotional materials from their films, tabloid coverage, interviews, fan club materials, and so on and so forth. I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

Like warmed over Barthes... It seems to me the "name change" thing might be your best point d'appui, non? | |

Like warmed over Barthes... It seems to me the "name change" thing might be your best point d'appui, non? ugh I was afraid you'd say that. I've spent the first half of the paper talking about Prince in general, so now I've got to get down to specifics. Meaning narrow it down to one tiny slice of his career that embodies everything I've said. I'm re-reading through what's already been written, and I think my main point is that Prince has always carved out that little niche of not wanting to (and his refusal of) being categorized. In terms of race, sexual orientation, even what his music is. But at the same time, Warner Brothers - and the media - really jumped on that bandwagon, and began to market him as such. It's what I've got so far, and it's so boooooring. Nothing that hasn't been said before. Which is why I want to stay away from the symbol period - so incredibly overdone. But I guess it's my best shot, eh? Instead of looking at his films, I'm looking at his music videos. Any ideas? I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

You could link the name change (which wasn't legal, right? but which had an aura of legality about it) to the legal act of copyrighting his works. So a connection between identity and commodification, a circumvention of copyright law by natural law or something like that. | |
