Studium Generale | Science Café: Hoe politiek is een popster?

Media scholars Dan Hassler-Forest and Nicolle Lamerichs, and literary scholar Laurens Ham, discuss pop stars’ activism.

NB: this event is in Dutch.

Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny and MEROL: pop stars are also influencers. They sell not only their music, but also their ideals. How political can an artist be in a hyper-capitalist music industry? What are the risks or benefits when artists speak out? And do fans actually want this? With media studies scholar Dan Hassler-Forest (UU), literary scholar Laurens Ham (UU) and media studies scholar Nicolle Lamerichs (HU).
