“ You can’t reduce [Beyoncé] to any one role, any one “type”: she’s not just a black girl, or a “carry a bit of weight” girl, or a thick girl, or a pretty girl, or a southern girl, or a girl from Texas, or whatever. And this reduction to “type” is what makes traditional cataloguing possible—women aren’t valued for their individuated “use value,” but only as a (stereo)type.
Robin James on how Beyoncé’s “Countdown” reverses the narrative of the male “catalog song.”
