Förlagets beskrivning
In studies of gender and sexuality in popular music, the concept of difference is often a crucial analytic used to detect social agency; however, the alternative analytic of ambiguity has never been systematically examined. While difference from heterosexual norms is taken to be the multivalent sign of resistance, oppression, and self-invention, it can lead to inflated claims of the degree and power of difference. This book offers critically-oriented case studies that examine how the analytics of sameness and difference combine to produce both gender replication and the ambiguity of gender disruption in popular music. Covering popular music from around the globe, contributors present a diverse array of approaches through music, sound, psyche, body, dance, performance, race, ethnicity, power, discourse, and history. A wide variety of popular music genres are broached, including gay circuit remixes, vernacular fundamentalist Christian music, punk rock, Goth music, cross-dress performance, billboard 100 songs, global pop, and nineteenth century minstrelsy. The authors address questions related to gender replication and disruption: How does heteronormative culture come to be replicated in queer musical scenes? How does the music of gender and sexuality both retain old cultural forms and challenge them? Is it possible for genuinely new forms of gender and sexuality to emerge musically? This book makes a distinctive contribution to studies of gender and sexuality in popular music, and will be of interest to fields including Popular Music Studies, Musicology/Ethnomusicology, Cultural Studies, Queer Studies, Sound Studies, and Media Studies
