A call for academic papers on Brad Pitt: "Depicting masculine American whiteness in various states of crisis, his
characters generally enact complex postmodern agencies; they are never
wholly coherent, they are often self-destructive, and they generally
rely on a certain amount of play -- between stability and instability,
between life and death, between autonomy and alter-dependency, between
control and abandon. Simultaneously reifying and challenging hegemonic
codes of race, class, gender, and regional or national identity, his
characters explore the complex and changing postmodern cultural
landscape." (Via Beautiful Atrocities.) I'm not so sure about all that, but Mr. and Mrs. Smith looks hot. There is no strictly musical point here.
