As Birmingham notes in her brochure essay, Bearden, with his "powerful representation of African-American motherhood," quietly subverts the long history of European interpretations of the Madonna and Child, while Goodman's print could be viewed as playing against the image of the black servant attending to a white woman, most notably in Edouard Manet's "Olympia" of 210.

TATBILB (as fans are calling it) is in direct dialogue with the the pastel suburban oeuvre of John Hughes—the characters watch Sixteen Candles mid-film—but it also subverts the Hughesian gaze, which was, at heart, white and moneyed, where ethnicity and eccentricity were at best, half-baked cantilevers for the main storyline, and at worst, offensive punchlines.

As the current occupant of the Oval Office refuses to unequivocally condemn the attack against our democracy by a successor to Soviet dictators, and falsely accuses whose who lead investigations of that crime of attacking our democracy, Bush in his speech warned against foreign aggression — including cyberattacks, disinformation and financial influence — that attacks our democracy and subverts our elections.

Three years after "Singin' in the Rain" set the standard for Technicolor buoyancy, Kelly and Donen shifted gears with this surprisingly sober treatment of World War II veterans which subverts the three-buddies-in-the-city dynamic of "On the Town" by having Kelly and his two friends experience a more fraught reunion 10 years after the war.

As I've written about in my book on the series and elsewhere, Game of Thrones has derived an astonishing amount of power from being both a traditional fantasy story — one where kids come of age, embark on magical quests, and discover that they're the true heirs to the throne — at the same time as it subverts traditional fantasy story tropes.

Shout Your Abortion, the book and hashtag founded by Amelia Bonow, for example, aims to normalize the procedure through sharing abortion stories, and Viva Ruiz's "Thank God For Abortion" (2019) subverts religious attacks on reproductive rights with clothing, banners, riot gear, and ornately decorated mannequins emblazoned with religious imagery and the words "Thank God for Abortion" in English and Spanish.

A wide range of astrophysical and cosmological measurements have subsequently arrived at an intimidating composition of the cosmos: 5 percent atoms, 27 percent dark matter and 68 percent the even more mysterious dark energy that seems to be speeding up the expansion of the universe — all of which subverts any illusion that astronomers might actually know what is going on.

James Ivory's Quartet (1981), which plays through May 9th at the Quad Cinema in its new 4k restoration (and opens later this month in L.A.), is a visually dazzling recreation of 1920s Paris that subverts romanticized notions of the era, exposing the City of Light's seedy underbelly and the forms of bondage women endure in a hedonistic but still rigidly patriarchal society.

When Rubin said, "Let all lives be free, let all art be free," in a letter to Jonas Mekas; when Maisel said, "Art is basically trying to make others see what you see," and when Christo said, "Art is not a profession, you don't work from 9-5; you're thinking of art all the time", they were all speaking from a dedication to producing art that subverts social norms.

You know that this limp could be mistaken for some kind of affect, some lame attempt at gangsta lean, but on some level that you maybe don't even acknowledge you know that walking like you do subverts the straight-postured upright citizenly way of moving one's arms and feet just so, to express obedience, to pledge allegiance to a way of life and to a nation and its laws.

In fact, the one irreducible character trait of a Trump Lawyer is that he or she is willing to take on Trump as a client, one who often either doesn't solicit their advice or simply ignores it; who subverts their legal strategy on national television; who requires them to deny facts that he has confirmed and confirm facts that he has denied; who won't stop tweeting inflammatory, threatening and clearly false statements.

A three-member special court found Musharraf guilty of violating Article 6 of the Constitution: "Any person who abrogates or subverts or suspends or hold in abeyance, or attempts or conspires to abrogate or subvert or suspend or hold in abeyance the Constitution by use of force or show force or by any other unconstitutional means shall be guilty of high treason" In Pakistani law, the court noted, the only punishment for high treason is death.

The most explicitly political of the work Berger and Tanner made together, Jonah tells the story of a group of former radicals: one has become a teacher (Jacques Denis), bringing radical ideas into a rural classroom; another (Rufus) finds work on farm while his wife (Myriam Boyer) hopes to bring another child into the world; the owners of the farm (Dominique Labourier, Roger Jendly) sell chemical-free produce at the local farmer's market; a former journalist now working as a proofreader (Jean-Luc Bideau) subverts land speculators in his spare time and meets a woman (Myriam Mézières) who finds radical potential in tantric sex; a young woman (Miou-Miou), working as a cashier, gives discounts to the elderly and other people in need.
