Liberté, Egalité, Beyoncé!
Politicizing Beyoncé is a practical seminar that introduces the participants in talks and workshops on an interactive journey into the pop world of Beyoncé. As a bastion of academic, artistic, and activist formats,
Prof * X Allred combines the work Beyoncés with novels, speeches, or music by black women in order to elaborate the activist and political strands in their work. The analysis of Beyoncé's visual and musical art provides a clear picture of what it means to take an intersectional feminist perspective in contemporary pop, and whether it is conscious or not, how race, class, gender, and sexuality affect and direct our daily lives.
Politicizing Beyoncé is a new form of teaching and creates a different approach to the artistic output of Beyoncé. Above all, learning and learning is a real pleasure! Kevin Allred Shows clearly that pop and politics are interwoven and pop is still a driving force of social upheaval. In the US, his doctrine is dangerous to the state - Kevin Allred finds himself on the blacklists of the reactionary Trump government.
Prof * X Kevin Allred is a feminist author, teacher, trainer and stalker of the status quo. A shameless academic outlaw. He believes that everyone should have access to knowledge and education - not just the guardians of the ivory tower.
Black Feminism & the Music Industries
As an entry, we analyze how the
Beyoncé album undermined the entire music industry in order to (re) position black protagonists as key figures for cultural criticism.

Lemonade
In 2016, Beyoncé's album Lemonade appeared, splitting the feuilleton world as well as the fans. While bellhooks criticized the fact that in this work, capitalism would prevail over feminism, for other recipients, precisely that album was the long-awaited feminist liberation blow. The contradictions and criticisms are the foundations for the associative survey of the academic millennium Kevin Allred. Dance the classroom!
