polysemic

A range of polysemic representations- Ariana is represented as both cute and innocent (for example throughout the anchorage of the mise en scene of the dollhouse).
With heavily sexualised gestures and performances, such as being on all fours and staring directly in to the camera.
Many conventions of the rap music genre.
