From Taylor Swift to dune: the religio-political and spiritual agency of popular culture. RSIS Commentaries, 034-24. | Journal: | RSIS Commentaries, 034-24 | Abstract: | Taylor Swift, American singer-songwriter, who just finished her concert tour in Singapore, exercises a unique power in American politics as an advocate for the Democratic Party in the upcoming presidential elections, prompting some from the Republican Party to declare a “holy war” against her cultural influence. This religious symbolism surrounding popular culture extends to recent films like Dune 2 and highlights the agency of art and media as a medium for a society’s spiritual expression. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/174598 | Schools: | S.
