Tartuffe: (Dorine's Version)

In the final episode of Season 3, hosts Jovita Roselene and John Williams apply feminist theory to Molière's Tartuffe, using Taylor Swift as their guide! They unpack what Taylor's struggle to gain control of her own musical catalog might have in common with the censorship Molière experienced in his lifetime. Then, they turn to thinking about feminist theory and how applying it to Tartuffe allows us to center Dorine's agency inside of the plot. John explains the plot of the play in under a minute and our hosts then experiment with aligning the female characters in the play with an anthem from TSwift's ouevre. A note on content: This episode includes one instance of the f-word. It is the very first word of the episode because Prof. Seremet told the class they could use it *once* inside an episode. Prof. Seremet acknowledges that this was her error and commends the hosts for their chutzpah. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
