- Los Madonna studies —traducidos al español como: Estudios Madonna o Estudios sobre Madonna— (y también conocidos como «Madonnaology/Madonna-ology»; literalmente en español: «Madonnología»), hacen referencia a las investigaciones académicas y análisis que abordan de forma interdisciplinar la vida y obra de la artista estadounidense Madonna desde múltiples perspectivas como las teorías crítica y feminista. A los entusiastas, académicos o de esta área, se les ha denominado Madonna scholars o Madonnologists. Los estudios madónicos como también los llamó Óscar Contardo, a menudo se les asocia o clasifica bajo los estudios de medios, culturales y los de . Entre los temas más tratados, que son variados y diversos, están los estudios de la mujer, de género y los estudios étnicos con temas relativos como el feminismo, racismo, teoría queer, la posmodernidad y el multiculturalismo. Según distintas fuentes, el desarrollo de los Madonna studies ocurrió desde los años de 1980 y alcanzó notoriedad en la siguiente década cuando fue objeto de discusiones y debates por distintas razones entre varios académicos, filósofos, críticos teóricos y otros especialistas. Para otros, estos comentarios fueron un «fascinante» punto de contradicciones en sí mismos. Los Madonna studies continúan siendo un campo establecido, y han servido como punto de referencia ya sea para defender o criticar a otras corrientes de estudios de artes liberales. Existen diversas obras y material escrito sobre Madonna en las esferas académicas gracias a estos estudios y como resultado, los expertos consideran que ha sido la artista más estudiada en las universidades y quizás la que más ha llamado la atención de la comunidad científica. Sobre las «gigantescas» proporciones bibliográficas y el gran volumen de escritura que gira en torno a ella, el erudito David Tetzlaff dijo: «Leer todo lo que se ha escrito sobre Madonna sería como mapear la inmensidad del cosmos» (c. 1993).

- Madonna studies (also called Madonna scholarship, Madonna-ology or Madonna Phenomenon) is the study of the work and life of American singer-songwriter Madonna using an interdisciplinary approach incorporating cultural studies and media studies. In a general sense, it could refer to any academic studies devoted to her. After Madonna's debut in 1983, the discipline did not take long to start up and the field appeared in the mid-1980s, achieving its peak in the next decade. Educator David Buckingham deemed her presence in academic circles as "a meteoric rise to academic canonisation". The rhetoric academic view of that time, majority in the sense of postmodernism, generally considered her as "the most significant artist of the late twentieth century" thus she is understood variously and as a vehicle to open up issues. In the 21st century, academic studies about Madonna have remained and continued in many aspects. At the height of its developments, authors of these academic writings were sometimes called "Madonna scholars" or "Madonnologists", and both E. Ann Kaplan and John Fiske were classified as precursors. These studies analyzed several topics, but mostly Madonna studies involved in the study of gender, feminism, race, multiculturalism, sexuality, and the mass media. The wide-ranging resources used included, her films, songs, live performances, books, interviews or her videos. Both Madonna studies and its authors received a variety and a large amount of criticisms from academy and media outlets. It was also, however, defended in equally parts. The Madonna studies played a major role for the direction of the American cultural studies, and brought pop artists to the foreground of scholarly attention. The vast academic literature on Madonna, from academic conferences to journals, courses, theses, books, seminars and textbooks made Madonna as ubiquitous in academic discourse as she was in the popular media. Also, Madonna's semiotic was diversified in virtually all theoretical stripe by her scholars, each of whom had their own take on her role in society. With all of this, Madonna became for a while, the most studied pop artist or female artiste figure in universities. (en)
