Produktbeschreibung

"Focusing on Amy Winehouse, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Lana del Rey, Nathalie Weidhase conceptualises the female dandy as a figure that simultaneously embodies and ruptures postfeminist notions of femininity, such as maintaining a physique that conforms to contemporary beauty standards, constant self-surveillance and -improvement and the naturalisation of gender difference and heterosexuality. Popular music is an area where gender, especially femininity, is performed in both subversive and problematic ways, and where women's contributions to popular music are regularly undervalued or simply go unwritten"--
