Abstract

GUSMAO, Roney. Madonna, “sex” and post-modern fetichism. Sociologia [online]. 2019, vol.38, pp.61-87. ISSN 0872-3419.  https://doi.org/10.21747/08723419/soc38a4.

This text is one of the postdoctoral research products developed at the Instituto de Sociologia of the Universidade do Porto, aiming to understand how pop culture icons translate postmodern values.

Keywords : Madonna; Fetish; Postmodernity.
