Musicians, teachers and those who love music will find in this volume some answers to the question of how gender affects its practice, performance and reception. What was performing like for female rock singers in the 20th century? How did Bowie change our concept of performer identity? Just how sexist are the lyrics in glam metal songs? Is rap as homophobic as has been thought? Can female metal singers growl as well as men? Are LGBTQ+ issues reflected in 21st century music? Did Canadian New Wave groups tackle major social issues? How do Shakespeare and Joyce use musical puns and allusions? From Indian thumri, through French opera, Irish folk songs, and pop, all the way to metal and rap, the 17 contributions gathered here will challenge and inform, while confirming that our music shapes our habits, language, ideas and gendered selves.

Depuis sa naissance dans les palais florentins à la toute fin du XVIe siècle, l'opéra est le genre musical par excellence où la frontière entre les sexes paraît poreuse et où la notion de genre, telle que notre temps l'interroge, se construit à coup d'ambiguïtés et d'ambivalences. Le répertoire lyrique est gourmand de ces rôles travestis où le sexe de l'interprète ne correspond pas à celui du personnage qu'il ou elle incarne, ou même fluctue : on y trouve des personnages de femmes chantés par des hommes (parfois pour des effets comiques, mais pas toujours), de jeunes hommes chantés par des femmes (on appelle "rôles en pantalon" ces adolescents souvent plein d'élans sensuels, tels Chérubin dans Les Noces de Figaro, ou Octavian dans Le Chevalier à la rose), des personnages mâles devenant féminins, temporaiement ou définitivement...L'opéra est aussi un monde où l'identité sonore des sexes se floute, par la magie de la technique vocale... jadis forcée par la chirurgie. La voix de tête, que l'on associe communément aux femmes (en un raccourci abusif), fut ainsi la voix des castrats, qui interprétaient pourtant de valeureux héros guerriers. Elle est aujourd'hui celle des contre-ténors, dont l'usage à l'opéra est plus récent et questionne souvent l'enjeu de l'incarnation.En somme, s'il est un monde où le genre est libre, fluctuant et joueur, c'est l'opéra !

"Popular music has always been a dynamic mediator of gender and sexuality, and a productive site of rebellion, oddity and queerness. 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. 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. Contextualised within a detailed history of queer sensibilities and creative practices, including camp, drag, genderfuck, queercore, feminist music and club cultures, the author's rich empirical studies of local performers and translocal scenes intimately capture the meaning and value of popular musics and (sub)cultural style in everyday queer lives." --

The island is a powerful metaphor in everyday speech which extends almost naturally into several academic disciplines, including musicology. Islands are imagined as isolated and unique places where strange, exotic, different and unexpected treasures can be found by daring adventurers. The magic inherent within this positioning of islands as places of discovery is an aspect which permeates the theoretical, methodological and analytical boundaries of this edited book. Showcasing the breadth of ...

"In the 1990s, academic study of LGBTQ issues in relation to music centered on classical music, and the research topics and researchers were mostly white. The scope of the field has expanded greatly since then, with ongoing research on classical music, extensive work on white popular music, a growing literature on Black music, and recent initiatives in ethnomusicology. The term "queer" has risen as a welcome intention of inclusiveness, along with some complexity in its meanings. In The Oxford Handbook of Music and Queerness, contributors choose their relationship to the term as it relates to their work within and without the academic community. Offering a decisive departure from a Western- and Eurocentric approach to music, this Handbook reflects different rhetorics of queer musicology. Chapters look at music and queer experience across a range of venues and approaches, from gospel to electronic dance music; from Hong Kong public music to Ukrainian pop. Together, contributors illustrate the potential of queer methodologies in the musical realm, and where we go from here. Keywords: queer musicology, ethnomusicology, queer performance, popular music, queer theory, music and sexuality, LGBTQ studies"--
