Beschreibung
If pictures can be sexist, can analyzing sound reveal sexism, too? Where is
the language to discuss sexism in music? L.J. Müller tackles these important
questions in their 2018 German book titled Sound und Sexismus, which was
awarded the IASPM 2019 book prize. Analyzing the voices of Kurt Cobain, Kate
Bush, Björk and others, Müller demonstrates how gender is performed vocally
and interacts with gendered aspects of embodiment and affect. The book is
written from a strongly positioned and personal feminist perspective and is
appealing to readers from various backgrounds - singers, producers, music
lovers, as well as academics and anyone with an interest in feminist takes on
pop culture.
