Has bell hooks written anything on Gaga yet? I'm reading Outlaw Culture right now and I think she'd write excellently on Gaga.

Well, she rips into Madonna in Black Looks for co-opting black culture (the essay is called "Plantation Mistress" or something). Since most of hooks's writing deals with race study, i don't see how Gaga would fit into her writings. Of course, she can have an opinion that isn't a critique of race. I'd be more interested in what Butler says about Gaga and gender and performance.
