Increasingly in modern times, popular culture sheds light on various inequalities that arise from traditional rigid institutional structures. Beyoncé Knowles, an iconic African-American pop-singer, in many of her songs attempts to call attention to the ways in which women are subjected to an ideal image of beauty and how damaging that can be to a woman’s physical and mental health. In her song “Pretty Hurts,” Beyoncé emphasizes the oppression women face as a result of the public’s perception of beauty and behavior expectations. Through poetic tools such as metaphor, irony, imagery, repetition, and style, she stresses the struggle to reach perfection by referencing how beauty pageants, the plastic surgery industry, and the media contribute to the pain so many women are forced to endure. In relationship, philosopher Michael Foucault, in various pieces of work, discusses the formation of power, control, and discipline in modern society and how that establishes an idealized image that society is supposed to adhere to. Thus, based on an analysis of Beyoncé’s “Pretty Hurts,” Michael Foucault’s ideology regarding the “normalizing gaze” and “docile bodies” provides a theoretical lens from which to understand how society’s constant surveillance produces unrealistic and harmful standards for women.
