Playing it Queer
Popular music has always been a dynamic mediator of gender and sexuality, and a productive site of rebellion, oddity and queerness. With an activist voice that is impassioned yet adherent to scholarly rigour, Playing it Queer provides an original and compelling ethnographic account of the relationship between popular music, queer self-fashioning and (sub)cultural world-making.This book begins with a comprehensive survey and critical evaluation of relevant literatures on queer identity and political debates as well as popular music, identity and (sub)cultural style. The transformative capacity of music-making, performance and consumption helps us to make sense of identity and allows us to glimpse otherworldliness, arousing the political imagination.
Contextualised within a detailed history of queer sensibilities and creative practices, including camp, drag, genderfuck,
