| Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: The key aim of this thesis is to analyse Childish Gambino's music video for 'This Is America' with a postmodern lens. The music video uses typical postmodern traits, such as pastiche, fragmentation, and the transgression of limits. By doing this, it is both an ironic representation of America and a sharp criticism of the status quo and America's values. |
