Von der Wut zum Spiel Meat & Dress bei Jana Sterbak & Lady Gaga als Beispiele für einen Wandel im Storytelling im Selbstbild von Frauen vom faktischen zum postfaktischen Zeitalter
Von Martina Sauer | Referring to Marshall McLuhan, it can be confirmed that new media have altered the role models for women (and men). A comparison of two protagonists, the performer Jana Sterbak (1987) and the musician Lady Gaga (2010), illustrates this change, as well as the shift in storytelling from the factual to the post-factual age. The anger expressed by women in the 1980s and 1990s about their own behaviour is changing in the 2010s. It is being replaced by serenity. A game with mental images begins, in which, on the one hand, femininity is accepted and, on the other hand, it is playfully varied and expanded. Media-theoretical and socio-philosophical positions from Kant to the present provide the basis for comparison. In the spirit of ‘storytelling forever,’ it becomes clear that rules and role models have always shaped us. However, this does not preclude change. It is precisely this playful, carefree, post-factual approach that enables us to play with them more freely and carefree.
