Swiftology

The study of American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift

Swift is known for hiding Easter eggs or other secret messages in her songs or social media posts, waiting for fans to decode her hidden information. Her fandom community, known as the Swifties, are never tired of doing so. Swifties spend days inspecting pictures and texts Swift posted on social media. They look for every subtle detail: from the brand of jacket she is wearing to the number of trees in her background. People who engage in Swiftology are known as Swiftologists

See? Everyone is looking for secret messages in Taylor’s new instagram post, another moment of Swiftology.

Statology

The study of states as systems of power using Sovietological methods: analyzing how states maintain legitimacy, manage internal dissent, project force, and reproduce their governing elites. Statology treats states not as neutral arbiters but as organizations with their own interests, internal factions, and ritualized procedures. It examines the security apparatus, the bureaucracy, the legal system, and the educational system as interlocking mechanisms of control. Unlike traditional political science, statology assumes opacity and deception as normal features of state behavior, requiring the interpretive skills of the Kremlinologist.

Example: “His statology of the US national security state showed how ‘emergency powers’ have become permanent, creating a parallel government that operates outside constitutional checks—a state within the state.”
