As I’m preparing a talk on Lady Gaga for the upcoming conference “Cultural Distinctions Remediated: Beyond the High, the Low, and the Middle” (to be held here in Hannover December 15-17, 2011), Ruth Mayer just sent me a link to the video above. Wow! What else can you say about that? (Especially if, like me, you don’t understand even a fraction of what’s going on there?) Judging from the looks of it, this certainly seems to be one remediation that’s “beyond the high, the low, and the middle” – where exactly is it, though, and who’s that woman at 3:15-3:20? (By the way, if anyone’s looking for X-mas present ideas, I’ll take one of those cool t-shirts with her face on it being peddled via the youtube video description):
