We set out to discuss the Eras tour film but got drawn into the broader cultural phenomenon that is Taylor Swift. Along the way, we talk about the concepts of cathexis and the Big Other; our own embarrassing childhood attachments to music; how the Eras tour is like Nietzsche’s eternal return; Swift’s self-narration about her relationship to praise, food, and body image in Miss Americana; and Abby’s unexpectedly strong negative investment in the Travis-Taylor relationship.
Texts we discussed:
Taffy Brodesser-Akner, “My Delirious Trip to the Heart of Swiftiedom,"
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/12/magazine/taylor-swift-eras-tour.html
Sam Lansky, “2023 Person of the Year: Taylor Swift,”
https://time.com/6342806/person-of-the-year-2023-taylor-swift/
Richard Rodriguez, Hunger of Memory
Christopher Bollas, Being a Character: Psychoanalysis and Self Experience
