"We're not the same, but that's not important": en diskursanalys av låten Same Love och att tala för andra
(2014) GNVK01 20132Department of Gender Studies
- Abstract
- In this essay I analyse the hip-hop song Same Love along with its music video and the cover art for the single. The purpose of the essay is to discuss how Macklemore, the heterosexual artist who has written and performs the song, talks about homosexuality and homosexual identity. I use a discourse analysis inspired by Laclau & Mouffe along with theories about identity politics and speaking for others. My analysis shows that Macklemore uses a rhetoric based on sameness to legitimate his claims, but also incorporates some form of dialogue between himself and the homosexual identities he talks about.
