Queer Tracks: Subversive Strategies in Rock and Pop Music
Queer Tracks describes motifs in popular music that deviate from heterosexual orientation, the binary gender system and fixed identities. This exciting cutting-edge work deals with the key concepts of current gender politics and queer theory in rock and pop music, including irony, parody, camp, mask/masquerade, mimesis/mimicry, cyborg, transsexuality, and dildo. Based on a constructivist concept of gender, Leibetseder asks: ‘Which queer-feminist strategies are used in rock and pop music?’ ‘How do they function?’ ‘Where do they occur?’ Leibetseder's methodological process is to discover subversive strategies in queer theory, which are also used in rock and pop music, without assum...
Bodily interventions and intimate labour
This volume is about the relationship between bodily interventions, intimate labour and bioprecarity. It considers how access to and regulations around different kinds of medical intervention create vulnerabilities, especially for minorities, racialized groups, queers and trans people.
Judith Butler
Judith Butler es una de las figuras más destacadas del panorama filosófico actual. Su contribución a los estudios de género y la teoría crítica ha abierto espacios para el feminismo, la teoría queer y los estudios transgénero. Su decidida interrogación acerca de la vulnerabilidad constitutiva de la existencia humana, que apunta a una comunidad global más justa y no-violenta, ha marcado el debate político contemporáneo. Muchos son los filósofos y escritores que Butler lee y relee con una libertad indesligable del carácter comprometido de su pensamiento. Al igual que los movimientos sociales le sirven para pensar e identificar los problemas, en sus lecturas busca elementos para s...
»When we were gender...« - Geschlechter erinnern und vergessen
Wie sich jener Menschen erinnern, die in einer hegemonialen Kultur unerwähnt bleiben? Das Verhältnis von Politik, Geschlecht und Gedächtnis ist eines der großen Problemstellungen der Gender Studies. Wie sehen die vergeschlechtlichten Kodierungen, Metaphern und Allegorien des Gedächtnisses aus? Welche Bedeutung kommt dabei der Materialität der Körper zu? Wie greifen performative Prozesse in Empfindungen ein? In den Beiträgen dieses Bandes treffen Ansätze queer-feministischer Geschichtsschreibungen und biographische Erzählungen auf programmatische Untersuchungen der Verstrickungen von Geschlecht, Erinnerung und Geschichte.

The Routledge Research Companion to Popular Music and Gender
Why is gender inseparable from pop songs? What can gender representations in musical performances mean? Why are there strong links between gender, sexuality and popular music? The sound of the voice, the mix, the arrangement, the lyrics and images, all link our impressions of gender to music. Numerous scholars writing about gender in popular music to date are concerned with the music industry’s impact on fans, and how tastes and preferences become associated with gender. This is the first collection of its kind to develop and present new theories and methods in the analysis of popular music and gender. The contributors are drawn from a range of disciplines including musicology, sociology, ...
Research across Borders
In order to understand positionality as it relates to research, it is important to learn how to identify and reflect on how knowledge is produced and reproduced. Research across Borders introduces key concepts and methods to understand and critically analyze research in academic books and journals, as well as in media, government reports, and anywhere else information is found. This book addresses the opportunities and challenges of undertaking research in international, cross-border, and cross-cultural contexts. Specifically designed for students studying interdisciplinary or international programs on topics such as human rights, conflict studies, international relations, global development, and migration, Research across Borders provides the methodological, ethical, and epistemological foundations for understanding research across different disciplines. Whether students are gathering information from secondary sources or conducting primary research, Research across Borders aims to help readers become better researchers.
Values and Music Education
What values should form the foundation of music education? And once we decide on those values, how do we ensure we are acting on them? In Values and Music Education, esteemed author Estelle R. Jorgensen explores how values apply to the practice of music education. We may declare values, but they can be hard to see in action. Jorgensen examines nine quartets of related values and offers readers a roadmap for thinking constructively and critically about the values they hold. In doing so, she takes a broad view of both music and education while drawing on a wide sweep of multidisciplinary literature. Not only does Jorgensen demonstrate an analytical and dialectical philosophical approach to examining values, but she also seeks to show how theoretical and practical issues are interconnected. An important addition to the field of music education, Values and Music Education highlights values that have been forgotten or marginalized, underscores those that seem perennial, and illustrates how values can be double-edged swords.
The Social Production of Research
The Social Production of Research offers critical perspectives on the interrelations between research funding and gender, in a climate where universities expect accountability and publishing productivity to be maintained at peak levels. Drawing upon a range of qualitative methods, contributors investigate experiences with research funding; the nature of institutional, funding body and country contexts; and the impact of social change and disruptions on research ecosystems and academic careers in Canada, Finland, Sweden and the UK. Nuanced accounts call attention to the social, emotional and political conditions within which research is produced, while identifying the ways academics enact, shape, negotiate and resist those conditions in their everyday practice. Featuring thought-provoking and critical insights for an international readership, this volume is an essential resource for researchers, academics, administrators, managers, funders, politicians and others who are concerned about the future of research funding and the importance of gender equity.
