Arguing that advertising not only sells things, but also ideas about the world, media scholar Sut Jhally offers a blistering analysis of commercial culture's inability to let go of reactionary gender representations. Jhally's starting point is the breakthrough work of the late sociologist Erving Goffman, whose 1959 book The Presentation of the Self in Everyday Life prefigured the growing field of performance studies. Jhally applies Goffman's analysis of the body in print advertising to hundreds of print ads today, uncovering an astonishing pattern of regressive and destructive gender codes. By looking beyond advertising as a medium that simply sells products, and beyond analyses of gender that tend to focus on either biology or objectification, The Codes of Gender offers important insights into the social construction of masculinity and femininity, the relationship between gender and power, and the everyday performance of cultural norms.

This music video comes from a position of feminine self-expression and autonomy. We stand as witnesses to a woman giving birth to another part of her identity. In this case, let’s take it in a literal sense as we will see The Saint pushing The Whore out of her body. We begin with these two women celebrating their sensuality and having a firm grasp of their autonomy. And then as the story progresses, we are introduced to a new character who’s convinced it’s his right to take that agency away. But he’s clearly misguided. DIVA! is the pursuit of amplifying the very fact that The Saint in us can co-exist with The Whore as well as The Bitch, The Slut, The Boss, The Motherfucking Diva, and a lot more. It is a celebration of our endless rebirth.
