Taylor Swift kedvenc megkínzott költője máig sokakat inspirál

Költő és feminista ikon. Az Annie Halltól a Simpson családon át, a Szexoktatásig számos műben találkozhatunk a gondolataival, és számos szál

Adtam a Telexnek egy interjút a kutatásomról. A cím ne tévesszen meg senkit, komoly kérdésekről is beszélgettünk, Plath magyarországi kapcsolatával, a hideg háborúról, boszorkányfigurákról az irodalomban.

...

And just like that... I gave an interview to the most-read Hungarian news site and it ended up on the front page. I talked about Plath and pop culture, Taylor Swift, witches in contemporary literature, Plath’s relationship to Hungary, the newly published Poems collection, the Cold War, Plath in Hungarian translation and more.

We were covering T.S. Eliot in class once and my professor quoted “This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper” then said “What does a whimper sound like? Can anyone give me a whimper?” and I whimpered. I was the only person in the class who fucking whimpered.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of Anne Sexton’s death! RIP!

(9 November 1928, Newton, MA – 4 October 1974, Weston, MA)

...

Yes I try to kill myself in small amounts, an innocuous occupation. Actually I'm hung up on it. But remember I don't make too much noise. And frankly no one has to lug me out and I don't stand there in my winding sheet. I'm a little buttercup in my yellow nightie eating my eight loaves in a row and in a certain order as in the laying on of hands or the black sacrament. It's a ceremony but like any other sport it's full of rules. It's like a musical tennis match where my mouth keeps catching the ball. Then I lie on my altar elevated by the eight chemical kisses. –Anne Sexton, from “The Addict”, written "First of February 1966", (in: Live or Die, 1966)

“Just moods. Dream moons, rain moods, very introverted and even maudlin. Well, I must leave dreams of money and grandeur alone.”

Burning witches and exorcism: Witchcraft Imagery in Taylor Swift's Music

In this online seminar, we learn about the history and beliefs of witches, demons, and the supernatural in Swift's lyrics and visuals.

If anyone wants to discuss and learn about the historical, metaphorical, and literary witchcraft and diabolism Taylor Swift uses in her lyrics, register for my online seminar. We will also touch on the US-specific satanic panic!

I am a university lecturer specialized in 20th c. and contemporary literature of witchcraft, gender, and rhetorical use of the supernatural.
