• One of the contributors, Laurie Schulze, points out that while some of the articles in the collection were trashed by both the conservative and the left-leaning popular press as attempting to dignify studying Madonna by using difficul theoretical jargon, other pieces were criticized as desperate attempys by "academic wannabes to look cool when they were really being "mercenary, overcelebratory, or just plain silly. Schulze goes on to suggest some of the tensions and dilemmas faced by academics, and other intellectuals, who want to gie their work a more autobiographical touch

• writing about Madonna had produced connections with others outside academe that dissolved the boundaries between public and private, academic and popular, theory and practive. Though such boundaries may function in name only, the fact that Madonna broaches divisions underscores the extent of her cultural power — certainly large enough to link total strangers in dialogue and highlight the ephemerality of: The Madonna Connection
• "Madonnology" is a recognized sub-discipline of Cultural Studies, with its own courses, textbooks and associated scholarly apparatus. Indeed, when you read some of the stuff that academics have written about Madonna, such as her subversion of the subversion of the subversion of the male gaze in the Material Girl video, then you’re inclined to conclude that certain scholars should get out more. But marketing and consumer researchers, fortunately, are much too sensible to attend to self-indulgent academics squawking on about Madonna. Aren=t they?

• Hardly any other popular artist has received as much attention from the scientific community as Madonna (cf. e.g. Schwichtenberg 1993), and `Like a Prayer' has since its release been one of her most discussed videos also in the academic context. Here I will briefly present three different academic studies of `Like a Prayer'. Scott (1993) emphasises race, McClary (1990) gender and Huhtamo and Lahti (1989) media
• [What makes the Madonna phenomenon interesting is, perhaps, its restaging of this contrversy in cultural criticism as a controversy in the area of the identify politics. Madonna and her reception provide a caution about too easily conflating camp with progressive politics. Madonna's reception, both positive and negative, suggests that camp can still be a political and critical force-perhaps even more so since becoming a more public sensibility-]
• [A performer of inimitable ubiquity, Madonna has satured the pages of glossy teen-magazines and academic journals alike over the past decade. Even more unusually, her dalliances with queer communities have, more often than not, been deliberatly and calculatedly cultivated, though the explanations for this vary from one commentator to another]
• [Madonna scholars are not so much interested in Madonna herself, but in the way they believe she shakes up traditional sociax roees and power hierarchies]

Analizar a Madonna es profundizar en la evolución de muchos de los aspectos más relevantes de la sociedad de las últimas décadas. Su figura ha sido abordada desde diferentes perspectivas dentro de lo que se conoce como los Madonna Studies y ha servido como caso de estudio para ilustrar desde procesos de articulación de identidades a estrategias de promoción y marketing. Y es que la carrera de Madonna está íntimamente ligada a la consolidación de la globalización, que podemos observar tanto en su relación con el canal MTV y el mundo de la publicidad como en la dimensión y alcance de sus giras. También fue paradigma de los postulados de la postmodernidad, creando un personaje ambiguo (a veces contradictorio) con recursos como la ironía, la parodia, la nostalgia y la cita, que derrumbaba (clichés) universales y rompía barreras entre la alta y la baja cultura.

Esta misma ambigüedad fue la que hizo que fuese difícilmente encasillable y dio lugar a todo tipo de interpretaciones desde el feminismo y el colectivo LGTB, que encontraron en Madonna un símbolo para crear comunidad. Aún hay mucho más, claro: la multitud de estilos musicales que ha aglutinado y popularizado en sus canciones, su adaptación a los cambios de la industria musical en la era digital… Toda una trayectoria que le ha permitido convertirse en un referente para gran parte de las artistas femeninas que copan en la actualidad los primeros puestos del pop internacional. Madonna ha abierto camino y ocupa una posición respetada; no ha sido una reina tirana, sino todo lo contrario, ha roto con la dinámica patriarcal de la lucha entre divas y ha apostado por la sororidad, colaborando con muchas artistas más jóvenes del panorama actual, a pesar de que los medios de comunicación no cejen en su empeño por encontrarle una sucesora.

• [What is most ironic, as Daniel Harris points out, is that the very Lacanian, Foucaultian and Baudrillardian academics who laud Madonna for challenging the fantasy of wholeness claimed by the rational, ego-centered bourgeois individual have made of her an auteur, solo generator of her image. These postmodernist have thus contributed at least as much as Madonna's biographers to her self-generated myth that she as individual is in control. For example, McClary (1990) writes as though Madonna is solely responsible for creating her music, which is not the case eve for the two songs McClary analyzes. As the Village Voice music critic Robert Christgau (1993) points out, if McClary had looked at other contemporary pop musicians (he suggests Paula Abdul) she would have found that Madonna's chord changes are not all that extraordinary] (Who's That Girl? Who's That Boy?: Clinical Practice Meets Postmodern Gender, Lynne Layton)

• [why many of Madonna's academic critics have chosen to look only at her trimuphs and not at her pain; the pain and contradictions are clearly there and Madonna herself seems unafraid to reveal them, although she may not be aware of how much she reveals.](Who's That Girl? Who's That Boy?: Clinical Practice Meets Postmodern Gender, Lynne Layton)

• [critics who want to make of Madonna as postmodern heroine simply omit all the textual evidence that shows her pain (for example, Kaplan 1993 and Schwitchtenberg 1993b). These critics laud her continual reinvention of self, seeing in it her refusal to be bound by cultural definitions of the femenine, and they are right to do so. This is one of Madonna's cultural meanings, one way that she is ready by such varied groups as young girls and postmodern academic theorists. At the same her longing for unity, her abusiveness to herself and others, and the pain that is everywhere in her work are ignored. It is in fact the exclusion of her pain that makes celebration possible. If we were to acknowledge it, we would notice how domination and submission inform everything she does; we would wonder whether Madonna's continual reinvention of self is product of joyful choice or of painful and driven necessity.](Who's That Girl? Who's That Boy?: Clinical Practice Meets Postmodern Gender, Lynne Layton)

• Kathy Schwichtenberg in her book, The Madonna Connection, asserts: Much like Karl Marx's 'social hieroglyph', Madonna can be read as a barometer of culture that directs our attention to cultural shift, struggles and changes.... The 'Madonna paradimg'´serves as a touchstone for theoretical discussions on issues of morality, sexuality, gender relations, gay politics, multiculturalism, feminisn, race, racism, pornography and, capitalism (to name a few).

• Las esferas académicas no escapan de su onda pop expansiva. El periodista inglés Simon Reynolds detalló que Madonna ha alcanzado las élites de estudiosos al ser analizada por universitarios en Frankfurt, Alemania: "Con frecuencia los profesores universitarios dedicados a los estudios culturales utilizan a Adorno como blanco de las críticas a modo de precuela de sus interpretaciones semióticas de la "resistencia hegemónica" codificada con los vídeos de Madonna". Reynolds también recordó su paso en la Facultad de Comunicación donde estudió: "Los periodistas incluso hacían mofa de la existencia de intelectuales, en Estados Unidos e Inglaterra, que usaban las teorías de Deleuze/Guattari para elucubrar análisis sobre cómo los videoclips de Madonna subvertían el capitalismo".
• Indeed, in the U.S in Australia, in Japan, in the whole of Western Europe, and good section of the rest of the globe, Madonnology is omnipresent. Madonna is in the majority of encyclopedias, whether they be generalist or specialized (music and cinema). In the French Quid of 2001, for instance, one of her Parisian concerts, is used to illustrate record amounts of decibels that a concert may generate. That concert, if you are to believe the specialist of Rock & Folk magazine, counts among the 101 most memorable dates in the history of rock. Madonna is interestingly defined in the New York Public Library Book of Popular Americana, between the legendary Welsh prince Madoc and the Mafia. But my favorite example is that of the 1995 Cambridge International Dictionary of English. Here is its definition of the word "virgin"; NOTA: pag 82 en adelante
• Madonna studies itself took a variety of forms (and not all of these necessarily counted as cultural studies), but underlying most of this work was the notion that any proper understanding of Madonna's cultural significance required scholars to pay careful and respectul attetion to the accounts offered by er fans
• Madonna: Like a Dichotomy. Students in communication classes find it useful to study Madonna because she is a fascinating and prolific cultural figure whose merit and intentions are matters of great controversy. As the quintessential music-video star, she is also perhaps the medium's most significant auteur. In the areas of women's roles, motherhood, sexuality, race and religion, Madonna critiques and challenges widespread beliefs while at the same time reinforcing some of them. In her video "Like a Virgin," Madonna carries her trashiness to an extreme as she both mocks what the female is "supposed to do" as a bride and seductress and at the same time usurps the aggressiveness that is "supposed to" be the male's prerogative. She is in a sense, both male and female. According to Rosemary Kowalski, Madonna has provided a useful corrective to the feminism of the 1970s in her suggestion that it is all right for women to dress like women. In almost every video, there is at least one sequence in which Madonna writhes on the floor or ground, crawling, or assuming an otherwise prone position. Further, in the area of race, Madonna, unlike other rock stars, makes her interracial themes so explicit that the viewer cannot overlook them. This forces the viewer to accept or reject her images--although because of her radical critique of religion, viewers may reject them on the grounds of "blasphemy" when in fact they may be responding to her portrayal of African-Americans.
